I know several of you guys build some hot 351 C. I am trying to gather all the pieces I need for my track days car. I was checking into getting some of the Yates and Roush parts that are ran for one race then sold. I know nothing about the parts out there today been out of it too long. I can get 8 connecting rods for $175 - $265 They have Arrow, Lentz and Carrillo. Can also get a Ford motorsports aluminum water pump DOZX with roller bearing instead of ball for $195. Might be able to get Jesel roller lifters for $289. a set used for one dyno run never on track.
What rod length are you using for the stokers? Do not know that I want to go to that yet stock or stroker.
The Titanium exhaust valves are as low as $70 a set for one time on track valves. But they do not have Cleveland size what they use now are smaller. Can get balancer sometimes but none now.
I have had zero luck on dry sump oil system just new one that is over $3,000. Going to talk to one other guy that has access to the old NASCAR used parts.
On the fuel injection systems what seems to work best right now? Can't spend a fortune but want it to be running right.
I have good standard bore 4 bolt block and 1970 CC heads and stock crank for build.
I have been putting off visit to my engine guy with the virus going but need to go next week and get his opinions since he built NASCAR for year since back in the 60's. He got a visit from DEA once. They were finding his race engines in off shore boats running drugs, lol. They were buying his engines to run their drugs boats on. He did put decals on the valve covers of his engines is how they tracked him down. He got into no trouble. He just sold engines to anyone that had the money.
