Yep! Aussies are differents.
Aussies 351Clevelandsare also called 3V engines. It's the head design,but still retains 2 valves.
It's a combo of the US 2V and 4V heads.
Edelbrock makes a nice set for restomoders.

It does get confusing at times[8D].

 

Not so sure about the 500 rwhp statement, 450 rwhp is the magical number.

 

If you take care of the Car, it will return the Favor. All of my Cars/Trucks lasted well over 200,000 miles with just basic maintenance.

 

450 is not magical.... its the average of where there are issues....

and its the rods that give up.... power cast FTL!

the blocks can hold much more than 500 hp..... one builder ( I forget who) said the stock block is stronger than a teskid block.

 

I was talking about stock internals ...

 

yeah I know......but its not magical

 

I'll agree to disagree, I'm not too big into internet pissing matches. LOL

 

They are tuff, drive it like you stole it. I had an 86 that had a on off switch. It was wot or nothing. My 05 only has 1100 miles on it so I have to wait a few more miles before I can repeat some old fun.

 

Hey Thumper try to beat this......

 

I'm hoping they are reliable. This is my first Ford.
