Hey, Jeff!
I was thinking that you'd chime in on this thread sooner or later.
If anyone wants to see what a really nice 351C looks like check out Jeff's gallery. That's a real Boss 351C in there looking back at you. I'll call you probably Wednesday - I'm in Cancun (I know - tough way to make a living) Monday and Tuesday. If you want feel free to give me a call today or tomorrow - we're not doing anything this weekend.
Roger,
Yates are not the only good Cleveland heads out there anymore. The CHI heads get rave reviews. I can get a pair fully ported with all new valves, springs, etc. for about $2500. The flow rates are phenomenal, even on the exhaust side. I can allegedly do a Cleveland 408 stroker with 600+ H.P. for just about $10K. I'm looking into it further as we speak, and if it all checks out I'll let you know what the details are. Compare the price and power to a Roush 427, and there's no comparison. Right now one of the sticking points is finding an intake that makes really good power, yet fits under the stock Cobra hood. As long as we're on the subject, and of you Cleveland guys have any ideas on that?
