Nice work Brent! Sounds great! It takes special skill to get an engine to reliably run at 8,000 rpms. Your customer will be quite happy.

How would the build cost compare to a Windsor?
Would be interested Brent in how the build cost would compare to a 427 Windsor ?
Also what would this beast do with a good set of heads and 427 cubes?
Thanks Brent for sharing !
Impressive !!

A couple of points here:
This engine would not be fun at all on the street. It's a very peaky engine, with an 8000 rpm horsepower peak. It's also 12:1 compression, which means that it would need gas mixed, need to be ran on race gas, or need to be ran on E85.
I built this engine for myself, as a dyno mule, and for a future project. It's a testament to *how good* factory 4V Cleveland heads are. The heads have not been ported, but only have a set of Ferrea valves, along with a really nice valve job. They still flow over 300 cfm at lift. This is essentially a stock block, stock headed engine, with an unported Strip Dominator intake, one of my custom solid roller camshafts, and some half-way fancy rotating assembly components that normal people wouldn't use. You normally don't see a 351C with a 6.400" length SBC connecting rod. 
If it were not for the absence of headers for Cleveland applications, I would be steering a lot of my Cobra customers this direction. An inline valve head (Windsor) will only make so much horsepower and the canted valve layout will support huge numbers. |

Well, just use av-gas and drive on the steet at 5,000 RPM. Problem solved.

Brent, you mentioned the intake flow but what about the exhaust? Flow-wise it's my understanding that the stock C's Achilles heel is there.

It's only an Achilles heel if you don't adjust for it. That's what custom camshafts are for.
The Cleveland exhaust flow is bad, about the same as a Tunnel Port FE head. This one did about 188 cfm @ .750" lift with no pipe.
Obviously, I didn't tell it that it had a bad exhaust port design. |

You should post it on a Pantera forum, if one exists. I assume there's one out there.

I know someone with a Pantera running a 408C and Webers - about 500 HP. I'm sure he'd be intrigued by the HP, but not about the drivability.

A 550-600 hp 408C is very common and is very streetable. It's easy to crank those out, as it's easy to crank out 427-460 inch Clevors that make over 700 hp on pump gas.
However, sometimes you just wanna do something a little out of the ordinary. I will admit that I like trying to make the small displacement engines run hard.

Very impressive, Brent.
How muted is the low speed performance?

Had 600 lb-ft of torque at 1800 rpm and idled at 700 with the A/C on.  |

Very, very nice Brent. There's a special place in my heart for Cleveland engines.
What bottom end does it have? What crank? Girdle?

WOW, that is impressive, Brent!
600 ft/lbs at 1800 rpm is supercharged engine low speed torque. I would not have anticipated that much torque at that rpm from a n/a 351 inch engine.

Ed, I hope you know that was a very tongue-in-cheek reply. We didn't even pull this one down below 4000 rpm. No need to.
Racer_X, no main cap girdle. It has ARP main studs in the bottom end, a Superlight Scat crank that I bought for $350, and a set of Molnar 6.400" SBC rods.
I just pulled the heads and intake off so that they can be ported. I pulled the pan too, the coating had come off of my new Milodon pan with just a shop towel....
While the pan was off, I checked a few bearings. The main bearings still had my mic tracks on them. The rod bearings looked like they had just come out of the box. That was with 14-15 pulls at 8500 rpm and a standard volume/standard pressure oil pump. At 8500 rpm, we were still seeing almost 70 psi of pressure at the rear of the block. |
