here is the rundown on the motor.

1970 351cleveland
larger solid flat tappet camshaft
popup pistons (detonates on lower than 92 octane so its a higher compression)
open chamber 4bbl heads with aftermarket dual valve springs (2.19/1.7 valves)
1.7 roller rockers
edelbrock intake with 600 cfm edelbrock carb
holley aluminum valve covers
mallory unililite distributor

the inside of the motor is clean, the picture taken above was from when I changed all the gaskets on the motor when I first got it(mostly because I was curious what heads, and cam type I had :D).

The oil pressure is a little low, and I really don't know much about the history of the motor. It is still in the car, and I am driving it still. I just have no idea how much these things are going for.
 
Are you still selling your fastback on craigslist?
I saw your post there and couldn't believe you were selling the car. I'm in the Detroit area, too bad I can't come up with the money right now or that car would be mine! If you decide to sell the engine separate from the car, please let me know. What are you looking to put into the car? I have a few 351W and 302 at my shop, and I know a great local place to get stroker 351W cranks if you're interested.

So I guess you gave up on the vibration problem. What are you looking into getting after the C is gone>? I have a sick 427W I will be selling.

Well sorta. I was keeping the 351c in there because I was planning on selling the car and there was no point in changing the motor. I've decided to keep the car now, so out it goes. pm me some info on the 427

I threw it on there but i've changed my mind and decided to keep the car. I was looking around the used market to see if I could find a 302-351 shortblock with forged pistons that would get me at around ~10.5:1 compression, and put it on the bottle.

pm me info on what you got.

oh and check out www.motownmuscle.com Its where I hang out, and more classic stangers would be awesome.
