Hi All,



I haven't heard much discussion about the 351C on this list so I

thought I'd get the ball rolling.  I'd like to hear from anyone

who has modified their engine.  What have you found to be worthwhile?

What head/intake/carb/cam/etc combo are you using.  Spare no details



I'll take this opportunity to share a 351C-4V tip.  When fitting

a high lift cam, replace the stock valves with aftermarket one

piece valves.  The stock valves are a two piece design and tend to

separate under high spring pressure.  I grenaded my first Cleveland

that way.  A friend blew two engines before he got wise.



Thanks,

Dan C. Jones (not to be confused with Dan P. Jones who's also on the list)
