building up a 351 Cleveland

Thanks for the info guys, I'll pass that to Jake, and hopefully the pro-Chevy gang around here that has been trying to convert him will soon have something to fear :evil:

There are almost always 400M motors at the junkyard. would those heads be worth a damn?

Functionally, they are identical to Cleveland 2V heads other than possible cnamber size. Cleveland 2V heads of all configurations are good for builds.

Mercracer, seems like plans are changing - the 4V heads are going to be used, but because of all the issues with the Cleveland block my buddy's currently debating whether to bolt them to a 351W or a 302HO block. Clearly there are some mods that need to be done to the heads for that swap, but he claims it's doable... If he goes the Mustang way I'd assume the SuperVictor intake you suggested won't work cause of the different deck heights of the blocks, correct?

Forget about 302 cubes with Cleveland 4V heads. Even in Trans Am racing which had sustained high RPM's, they weren't the greatest. 351W block is the way to go. Stroking the 351W is even better. Using a Super Victor intake with the Price Motorsport adapter is still the way to go whether it is EFI or carbed.

Sweet, we have an extra Windsor block, and can get an additional spare if we go pick it up. Thinking about building a 396 Clevor, question, what to put it in?

Answer....about anything you want. I think that a stroker Clevor will rock! That's why I want to build my own. That is if I don't build a 4V head 400 first.
