Jac Mac,

Thanks for that information, makes good sense regarding valve spring inspection is that a visual?
A guy in Ashburton owned the PDL Falcon (converted to a road car) it had a 400 Cleveland, but from memory didnt do anything much, sort of a truck engine!

My car goes down to Timaru Saturday for fabrication of rear arms and pickup points (I piked out on doing it myself) will let Alan Dunn have a go at that, I dont seem to make as much progress nowadays, but thats mainly due to not wanting to fix balls-ups!

Getting back to clevelands, at one stage I considered a Fontana cleveland block, as I have read very good reports on these, but it was easier to get a Nascar based engine, I did buy a Dart aluminium 9.2 windsor block, which some engine builders in NZ seem to be a bit scared of due to distortion, but put together properly they are very good and capable of high hp etc.
