Not So Pro 3

Bingo.

I always wanted to build a “mock-BOSS”. I had a 302 block I clearance’d for a 347 stroker crank. I wanted to slap 2V Cleveland heads on it, and throw it in a Fox Body.. But life happened and I ended up selling the project. That would have been a high-rpm engine.

Karma was looking out for you.

That’s one way of looking at it! Lol

There are things that can be done to improve oil pressure and make the 400 live a long life. After all.....its just a stroker 351 Cleveland.

Very interesting. Could have saved a few trips to the dump back in the day.

One thing I would like to know, now that we're on the subject out of curiosity's sake. When I used to look at the engine detail decals on the valve cover, it always said 351M-400. How were you supposed to tell which one it was? To be honest Back then I didn't really care, it still went to Ed's zip line place.

They were all 400's..
Just like every clown who swapped a 350 into something got it from a Corvette..

I’ve had more than a few fellas try and tell me that they have a 360 or 390 or 401 AMC in their Jeep - until I look at the block: the cubic inches are cast into the side. Most of them are 304’s, and you can’t bore a 304 to become anything larger without getting into the water jacket. I made one guy real mad one time when he swore that his Jeep was a 401, but was actually a 304. He had been took by the last guy, and was trying to turn a profit. When I educated him, his face turned red..

Vary same reason you can’t just take a 390 and make a 427 even if you don’t hit water jacket they usually are so thin they split after they’re put together. A few here and there will work for it long as sonic checked, measured and made sure they don’t have to much core shift. Wasn’t many large cubic inch engines on the 60’s that could turn 7000 and survive but supposedly the 427 with the lemans rods could run that and live.

This truck was here on Monday for an oil change because the people are leaving for Arizona on Sunday.


Evidently even glancing at the transfer case isn't part of the multi point inspection.

Got my dad a Blackstone for Christmas. Helped him put it together and pour a pad for it today.

...and everyone with a Ford Truck that came with a 360 said it was a 390.

I still miss AMC's being around.

Me too. They’ve become my favorite engine to build. Their biggest drawback, is the timing cover mounted distributor. But that’s really the only complaint I have about them. Their high nickel blocks wear very little, and with factory forged cranks in the larger CI engines, they are a very stout base. And pedestal mounted rockers are way stronger than Chevy’s design, and easier to work on than the shaft systems of Mopar and Ford.

So, top it off and send them on their way?

 

[Woodwackr]

ID this part.
Clue…Shindaiwa
And, no, it ain't on any IPLs

 

[Woodwackr]

Damn it even has carpet. I wonder if its on the dashboard too. Deep shag would be sweet

No fuzzy dice….pass.

Hey boss.
Aussies know their way around a Clevo if you're trawling the interweb for info.
