For you 351C fans....turn up the volume!!!

Would be interested Brent in how the build cost would compare to a 427 Windsor ?
Also what would this beast do with a good set of heads and 427 cubes?

Thanks Brent for sharing !
Impressive !!

A couple of points here:

This engine would not be fun at all on the street. It's a very peaky engine, with an 8000 rpm horsepower peak. It's also 12:1 compression, which means that it would need gas mixed, need to be ran on race gas, or need to be ran on E85.

I built this engine for myself, as a dyno mule, and for a future project. It's a testament to *how good* factory 4V Cleveland heads are. The heads have not been ported, but only have a set of Ferrea valves, along with a really nice valve job. They still flow over 300 cfm at lift. This is essentially a stock block, stock headed engine, with an unported Strip Dominator intake, one of my custom solid roller camshafts, and some half-way fancy rotating assembly components that normal people wouldn't use. You normally don't see a 351C with a 6.400" length SBC connecting rod.

If it were not for the absence of headers for Cleveland applications, I would be steering a lot of my Cobra customers this direction. An inline valve head (Windsor) will only make so much horsepower and the canted valve layout will support huge numbers.

Well, just use av-gas and drive on the steet at 5,000 RPM. Problem solved.
