I did know that. I also know that he worked directly with Ford to duplicate stamps,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but not all stamps and the stamps weren't exactly as the original Ford stamps, for example the original grill trim had three small, but distinctive dents in it and the new stamped ones from Dennis and China are perfectly straight....blows the other Ford owners away when we inspect our grill trims at shows and events. This was verified by Ford a while back.

Something in there is. I didn't make up that number, the dyno did.

Edlebrock Performer RPM 351C.

Here's the link: http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_new/mc/cylheads/ford/cle_perf_rpm.shtml

I was also talking to the previous owner, her builder, and he told me they modeled the engine build from this article from Hotrod magazine. Pretty cool article, although a lot of auto talk in there is way out of my paygrade. Not as much money in this engine as some have suggested for the performance.

What do you think it would take, dollar wise, to get this engine to a 500 HP spec and I'll tell you what amount went into it.

DNFXDLI · Aug 23, 2010

So it does have aluminium heads?..I have read that article and went a different route that a hodge podge of different parts. (not saying it is bad, just did not appeal to me). As far as the dollar amount, seems to be listed on the back page.

He was responding to the post above.

I kind of knew that's what you were thinking.

If you could get some top side pics that would help. Is it louvered like the one I have? I'm guessing that it was made by the same people.

Is the cat out of the bag???????

Thanks Ben. It's got it's issues and scratches from being a DD, but I try to keep it looking as good as I can without painting it. Funds just won't allow for that. Plus if I ever get it painted scratches will make me go nuts lol.
