(first weekend in december.) we are in the process of identifying the heads, as we are not convinced they are CJ's. i am pretty sure the fella we bought it from had aquired it without really knowing what he bought. i will be horribly sad to stop racing the red 70..... i absolutely adore that ride... but it is a street car and i cant go much faster in it unless we add roll-bars etc... and we refuse to do such a thing to that sexy beauty!!" ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 351C 4V/FMX/3.25 Open '70 Mustang Convertible 250 I6/3 speed/2.79 Open '72 Mustang Sprint Coupe 351C 4V/FMX/4.30 Trac Loc '94 F-150 XL 5.8L/E4OD/3.55 Limited Slip IP: Logged

FastFordAndy Journeyman Posts: 45 From: Glendora, Ca. Registered: Nov 2000	posted 11-26-2003 01:49 PM Sorry to burst your bubble but heads are not CJ/SCJ. There would be a themactor hole in the end of the head which is not apparent on these. Car looks like it will be a handful anyway! Any idea as to how it has run in the past? IP: Logged

kid vishus Gearhead Posts: 6405 From: middle of NC Registered: Oct 2000	posted 11-26-2003 07:40 PM You're right. The heads arent CJ heads. After speaking with the guy for a little while today when we got the car, it became very appearant he didn't know anything about the motor. He said they were, but they aren't. That's not that big of a deal. CJ heads would have been nice, but, we sure aren't going to complain about the fact they aren't. A buddy of mine that knows a fair bit about clevelands and 385 series motors told me the base DOVE head with CJ valves and some basic port work are 60 hp better than stock cj heads. So, it's not a great loss. I have a die grinder, and aint agraid to use it. He told us he only put 14 passes on the car. He said leaving at an idle, with the timing turned back and running pump gas, shifting at 5400 rpm, it ran 7.02 @ 100 mph with a 1.59 60' time. IP: Logged

jkilroy Gearhead Posts: 1808 From: Vicksburg, MS Registered: Dec 99	posted 11-29-2003 01:13 AM Those are, however, real CJ finned valve covers that are worth WAY more to a collector than they are on a race car. I have seen them go for well over 200 a pair on Ebay. Welcome to big block land. Give me a call when you start thinking stroker, I have enough parts laying around to build 3 or 4 and could be "teased" into letting go of some for a very reasonable amount. ------------------ Jay Kilroy 68' Fastback GT 390 "No such thing as a cam thats too big" IP: Logged
TomP Gearhead Posts: 6007 From: Delta BC Canada Registered: Dec 99	posted 11-29-2003 01:29 AM Good score,decently quick too. The scoop is must-toss. This is a case where a cowl hood would be a big improvement, not sure if they have those for 79-83's except the bolt on Pace Car types. IP: Logged
