So how does one make a high reving 4-V 351c have a good amount of low end torque? I'm out of my element with the 351 cleves.
351C recently rebuilt
Holley 700cfm DP (model 4778-2 1433).
Edelbrock TORKER 351 intake.
4V dot heads.
Reed Cam. See cam card below.
Hooker Super Comp Headers.
Apparently the previous owner wanted a rev happy, performance oriented engine and built it that way. Realistically I drive at less than 3500 rpm so I don't need a rev happy engine, I need one with some low end grunt; preferably lots of low end grunt. I'll be putting a Tremec 3550 5-spd behind it followed by 3.25 or 3.50 posi gears in the rear end.
::help:: What's do I do to get there? Sell the current engine and start over? Swap out the intake for a Blue Thunder dual plane? Swap out the cam? Different headers?:huh:
