Cranky

I asked the engine builder to put together a strong "street" engine for me. Since I wanted good low rev throttle response, I decided to go with a dual plane Edlebrock Performer RPM intake. The builder choose everything else. He advised me that the dual plane intake would cost me some top end HP. The one thing that went on the engine that the builder didn't have a lot of experience with, at the time, were the Ford N351 heads. They are basically stock, not really ported, just cleaned up a bit.

When we dynoed the engine, the builder couldn't believe the performance numbers. Lots of torque right across the rev band and pretty decent power output to boot. This setup runs very well on the street using 94 octane gas.
