Engine Build

[DougG69]

I was asked to post the specs for my engine build on another forum, thought I'd throw them up here as well. Not that it's anything to write home about.
Quick copy & paste:

71 2-bolt main 351C block bored .030"
stock crank, rods shot-peened, magged & resized
TRW L2379F30 forged flat-tops
Comp Cams 282S Magnum camshaft, lifter & spring set
Scorpion roller rockers
Weiand X-celerator (will probably swap out for a Performer RPM)
750cfm vac. sec. Speed Demon carb
MSD 6AL & Blaster 2 coil
Ford Duraspark dizzy
Aussie 2V heads with 64cc chambers
2.19 / 1.71 Manley one-piece valves

Running through a TKO500 / McLeod hydro clutch setup. Still running the factory 3.00 peg-leg, will be upgrading to a TrueTrac / 31-spline / 3.50 setup next spring.

Exhaust is FPA headers, a 3" Dr. Gas X-pipe, Spin-tech Sportsman Streets, and Flo-Master 2-1/2" tailpipes exiting under the rear valance.


I would also like to see what others are running, mild to wild, if you feel like sharing :beer

Sounds like a really nice Cleveland build. I'd love to hear how it sounds.

69 351w block bored .030" over
stock crank
Eagle SIR forged I-beam rods
Probe SRS flat top forged pistons
11 to 1 compression
Clevite H-series bearings
Total Seal moly rings
FTI custom solid roller camshaft (.640"ish lift with 1.72 rocker arms; 230ish duration @ .050")
Ported Canfield 192 cylinder heads (308cfm/258cfm @ .700")
Scorpion 1.72 full roller rockers

Ed Curtis from FTI said the engine should make 415 rwhp through an AODE transmission. That puts it around 530hp-540hp at the crank.

@ 6T9mach1 - Ryan, sounds killer to me!

@ monkeystash - I just threw a quick clip up on YouTube this morning (first time I've tried to record video with my digital camera). At least you can get an idea of the sound

I'll have to figure out how to embed video sometime.
