However, I think that if I want to do thir right - I might as well do the internal stuff frist and then go with all the external goodies. Any suggestions?</P>

Cleveland heads are very efficient, I wouldnt worry with heads at the moment... you have to consider the performance diff vs the cost. A different cam will will make the biggest difference in hp, but to take best advantage of it it is best to upgrade your intake and exhaust systems. A performer RPM package with cam/carb/intake is a great way to get good performance for minimal dollar. Summit and Jeg's usually have good deals on those. And dont forget about headers and a good exhaust. With a 351C that setup could easily get you 400hp at the flywheel.</P>

I have a 351 Windsor - not a Cleavland, However, I hear you on the cost diff. I am looking to spend 2k-3K on the engine.<IMG onclick="AddSmileyIcon'smileys/smiley4.gif'" alt="Big smile" src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0"></P>

not going to a stocker you should make that 3k with no problem...though invest in a good set on aluminum heads and 1.7 rockers</P>


these heads do 2 things flow better and well save you around 50 pounds on the front end so with the wt thing it's already .05-.10 faster</P>
