Since its winter project time for us up north i am pulling and rebuilding a 73 351 Cleveland Right now as far as i know its stock. I have aussie heads and am planning on getting a new crank, con. rods, pistons, Valves, valve Springs, the whole thing. also i am getting a 30 over bore. WHat coul di get to make this car streetable? I have thought of dished pistons, roller cam/rockers, puch rod guides. What would be a good cam for it? Lift, duration, etc... are there any other things that woudl give me good horsepower with streetable capabilities. Keep in mind this is a cleveland

The aussie heads should help with low end flow, but hurt with too high of a compression ratio, so dished pistons would be good. If you can get flow numbers for the heads and invest in some engine analysis software, choosing a matching cam would be easier. Shoot for low end torque for the street, not high end power for racing. Roller cam conversion, if you can afford it, would also be good.

I have an AOD in the car with a 4.11 9 inch. I drive it all the time and could drive it daily if I wanted but since I run the 850 DP all the time (I wonder why ) I only get 11 MPG. I was getting close to 18 with the 770.

Have you run the quarter mile yet?

no. The car hasn't been ready. Little problems here and there. Lack of seatbelts. etc.....
