Junkyard 351W build
I thought this article pretty amazing with the before and after boltons...
Edelbrock top end kit 2090 $3600. MSD or Flamethrower dist $300 Holley 750 4150HP $600. Might be helpful for someone in a cash strapped build. Topped Off: Edelbrock 351W Power Packages - Power & Performance News |
Good post.
I like to read these short and to the point articles. Thanks for sharing. |
Great article, but seems like a pretty hefty price for the parts supplied in the top end kit. Seems like with a little judicious shopping, you could secure the same parts and pieces for a substantial savings.
Being a cheapskate, I built a 393 on a budget. The 393 especially lends itself to relatively inexpensive build up using mostly stock parts in the rotating assembly. I purchased a 74 351W block and a bunch of parts from a guy who had given up on a project. Took it to my machinist and had the block cleaned up, machined, and my rotating assembly balanced. I bought a 393 stroker crank, had my 351W rods reconditioned, found some barely used 302 hypereutectic pistons on a Mustang site where I also found some barely used Vic jr. heads. Picked up a Weiand stealth manifold at a car parts swap and a Unilite distributor. Finally, found a Comp Cams Extreme Energy cam kit with new springs, pushrods, roller chain and timing gears and some Comp Cams roller rockers. Holley 4150 750 DP tops it off. Along with a few other parts like head bolts, water pump, slightly used Canton road race oil pan, and HP clutch, I was in it for around $3500 total. Puts out around 515 FW hp and is a handfull on the road. Bob |
