That's exacly what we did when we did the .008" clearance thing with that 351. You should check the clearances, if you can. Look for the cylinders to be oblong or out of round, near the middle and the bottom.

honestly, man, i would definately forget this deal. don't pick-up on someone else's problems. this is the heart of you're car we're talking about.

build your own.

avoid the guessing.

peace of mind is priceless.
