The 1973 351 Cleveland 2V engine was rated at 164 HP net in the USA, I think you may be in Australia, so not sure what they made there. So, if it is making 176 wheel HP it is stronger than it was when it came out of the factory. Remember that you loose 15 to 20 percent of the engines flywheel...

Is that a stock 351 C 2V engine? If it is 176 WHP is probably about right.

No issues with current gas.

I just found exactly the same thing on my drivers side quarter panel, same type of crack in the paint and the filler lifting as the metal was not sanded correctly.

Hopefully you do not have any dead cylinders because of mechanical issues. You can definitely have good compression on all cylinders and still have 1 or 2 not firing because of other issues. One easy way to check is to just fire up the engine and let it idle, then remove one spark plug wire from...

Check the list number on your Holley and check and see what primary jets it has, while you are there check the power valve as well. As hemikiller said, it sounds like it is probably a bit lean. Check to the plugs to see how they look too.

Welcome from Texas! How bad is your parents car? Can't tell from the photos, interior seems to be all there, seems like you are missing the drivers side door, and the rear glass is off the car. Car looks like it was well optioned. Please be aware that if it is rusty almost all the metal is...

It does seem like you are only running on like 6 cylinders.

I would also try JB Weld from the inside of the wheel, sand it down real nice with like 120 grit, clean it with grease and wax remover and put my JB weld on there. I would be willing to bet that would fix the minor leak. I doubt that there is any issue with the integrity of the steel wheel, and...

Great idea, will definitely do that before I put it back on!

No, it is very minor, I was able to pull out the dents, and there is no damage on the a pillars, and only very small dents on the passenger side c pillar.

I just pulled the harmonic balancer on my 351 Cleveland as I was having a bad engine vibration above 3,500 RPM and I knew that it had slipped as when I tried to time it, there was no way to get the engine to even stay running with the timing where the balancer said it needed to be. There is not...

I have quite a bit of an oil leak on my engine, and I can tell you that most of it is coming from the intake manifold rail area, both front and back, and that makes it seem like everything is leaking.

The headers should not be that much of an additional pain for him to the the transmission off. If you have stock manifolds and someone has put an H or X pipe on the exhaust, which is really common, the exhaust will have to come out anyways. With header you will most probably need to remove the...

I just did the conversion and that is $3500 USD for a rear main seal, that is nuts. It is not an easy job but for $3500 I would certainly do it myself. If the engine is out of the car this is a relatively easy job, the issue is doing it with the engine in the car, but as previous posters have...

Here is a photo of a 1968 Mustang 6 cyl and how it is routed. 1971 should be about the same.

Welcome from Texas!

Well, you have caps and rotors there for the rest of you life :cool:

An 80457 is a fine carburetor. Unless you have a really modified engine and really need more than 600CFM, there is no reason to change it to a Brawler.
