I just finished the build of my 351, I used Edelbock Performer Rpm heads, intake, cam and have 9.8 to 1 compression, motor looks great, Milodon gold anodized oil pan, ARP stainless bolts, nickel chrome headers ordered for it. As soon as I get the headers it's off to the dyno, hoping for 400+ horsepower. Complete build with machine work was $3500 and a few dinners/beers with my cousin for the help on assembly.

Try World Products Roush 200 heads, Comp 270 magnum cam (Per Alex ), Edelbrock performer RPM Air-Gap intake, and a holley 700 double pumper. Hooker and Hedman make good headers. Of course if you really want more wheaties, go with the Scat 3.85 stroke crank (with KB-Silvolite pistons) for an easy 393 cubic inches.

With Edelbrock RPM heads and intake, Comp 282S cam, and a 750 cfm vac Holley on their 351W Melissa and SteveW (steve'66) are running 12.4's all day in the 1/4 mile (with a better 60' it will run 12.1-2). Just thought I would give you an idea what sort of power you could be looking at with these four little parts .------------------ Tim M&M Member #35 1965 Mustang coupe, 200 I6, Holley 2300, Clifford header, true duals w/ 26" Smithys 1988 Mustang GT AOD vert, 15.810 @ 88.871 mph 100% stock w/ no traction 1976 Silverline Comoro 18' trihull ski boat, 188 hp 302 I/O, another toy http://all.at/mustang https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/I65Stang.html

Try Ford blue ![](https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/wink.gif) I've seen to many engines that people have gone out of there way to make it look good.And while they have the motor out or apart they never even paint it. ![](https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/smile.gif) SCOOP

Before I'd even heard of Ford blue, I painted my engine orange, which later turned out to be Chebbie orange! Looks nice though. Ford blue is sort of depressing

It's bored .030 over w/ forged aluminum flat top pistons. Compression ratio is 10-1. The parts may be for sale this summer too. ![](https://mustangsandmore.com/ubb/smile.gif) SteveW

Plasticote #224 Engine paint is the correct color for early fords, they have another one that is lighter blue and real ugly if you ask me.
