Cool Butlers with Clevelands
I was wondering how many Butler owners out there got their cars with Clevelands in them. I know three guys already, but have also heard that some came with Chevy engines and some even with automatics in them(!). Ron Butler built in a monstrous tranny hump for that very application! I am doing a lot to my car, and one of the things may be to reduce the width of this hump.

The other quesiton deals with the Cleveland itself.I have heard that it's wise to stay under 400ci in stroking it. I am going to 393ci, but some people have gone out to 408. I'd be interested in finding what other Cleveland owners have, or have done, to their engines, re displacement.

PS I like this site ever since it was started and have found it to be tremendously informative. Keep it up!
