Had to cut notches in the block, dig up some 6 inch rods to fix the angle problem 5.7 rods made. Not to mention buying a crank. On one hand I spent gobs of money to make 35 - 40 more HP. On the other the motor ran like it had the flattest power curve in the world from 3000 to 6500 RPM. Is it easier with a Ford Motor? I thought my money was better spent on balancing and higher quality parts. IP: Logged

I would do a 392C if I started with a cleveland today. I would do a 392W if I started from scratch..... [This message has been edited by Mpcoluv (edited 01-01-2003).] IP: Logged
ekbeanctr Gearhead Posts: 274 From: Middlebury, IN USA Registered: Dec 2000	posted 01-01-2003 08:20 PM $$$$$$$$$$$$$ I had planned on stroking my 351W to at least 393 or I even thought about 427 UNTIL I added up how much money I had already spent on everything else!!! SO, Maybe in a couple of years, but first I need to get what I have finished and on the road. ------------------ Have a Wonderful Day CandyApple 65 Fastback 351W, 4 Speed Versaille 9" Rear End Global West Front End [email protected] IP: Logged
