well i just talked to my buddy, he found my cleveland 2v heads and crank that have been mia since 03.......the block is covered with dust at my friends machine shop and i have the rest of the goodies at my parents house
my 86 vic wagon burns oil really bad (qt every 100 mi) so i'd like to freshen up this cleveland and drop it in.......this is a 73 block, i'm no specialty engne builder like you guys.....i'm the mang that makes it all run and no other parts fall off the cars and stop good lol......i know the 73 motor was low compression....what do i need an engine kit for a 70/71 cleveland? i wanna be able to run on 87 octane, so 11:1 is out of the question.....and i dont have the bucks to get crazy with this one, simple 4bbl intake, 4bbl carb, mild cam.....with a fresh rebuild.....will be an aod behind it with prob a 3.55 rear.....what oil pan do i need? is this a worthwhile project? car needs a gas tank anyway and the fuel pump is noisy as hell
