cams\manifolds???
Hey Guys
I have a mildly worked 351 cleveland and would like to upgrade on a cam and manifold. The engine does go well for what it is, with a sharp throttle response and low end power. I'd like to know if I can gain more out of this engine by changing the cam and manifold or should I just leave the thing alone. I'm guessing its in the range of 300-350HP at present My current set-up is as follows: 351 2V closed chamber heads port matched,Crower torque beast cam 1800-5500 RPM, Edelbrock Performer manifold idle-5500 RPM, Holley 750 vs, factory Flattop pistons, factory valves, factory 4MA crank, MSD ignition, MSD Dizzy. C4 Auto with 2000 Hi Stall. Anybodys feedback would be greatly appreciated Cheers Jeremy:confused: |
I have a very similar setup with the exception of 4V open chamber heads. I run the ford SVO 341 cam (very similar to the crower 15973, next cam up from yours) and make just shy of 400 HP. The cam you have is a very mild one. Crower and some of the crane cams have been recomended to me. The best intake for your motor will be the Blue Thunder dual plane intake. Keep in mind valve clearence and springs when you consider the change.
