need help building windsor
Anybody care to give me the lowdown on how I get a roller cam in my .040 351? I kept my 302 from my stang for any roller parts but, do I need to get special bearings for the cam? I know I need the spider valley to be put on the windsor but what kind of cam can I use? I am hoping to get 500 horses from my windsor!? Someone who has a windsor built for chevy duty please help Thanks....

you can drill the holes in valley or you can get the retro kit roller lifter that are linked together, im guessing you are talking about a hyrdalic roller. If you dont mind a little noise and checking the valves once a month or so and really want it to run hard than go solid roller, my brother has a street solid roller in his with .618 lift , we use good poly locks and stud gridles and we check them once a week to be sure , but it has been 2 onth and they have not moved and he runs 11.70's and drives that thing to and from the track , around town , to school to work,,and has never had a problem, but a hydralic rollers are cool. they just dont make near the power a soild roller does and hydrlic roller are very heavy and are rpm limited.

and also, to get 500hp from a 351 is pretty easy , we really need to know what the intended propurse of the car is for, and be truefull with your self, street -strip or strip only???? you can stroke it to a 393 or a 408, or just say with a stcok stroke, and use a good set of heads , sucj as, rpm or afr..etc...with a nice cam set up(i prefer soild roller)

sorry it took so long to post back but I would consider a solid cam in my windsor. I just want a really fast street car guys. I thought about stroking to a 408 but do I have to notch the cylinders like you do on the 302's??? Anybody got a clue what my .040 cubes out to? right bore size for the 408???

you can stroke it if you want, stock stuff is ok ,but i like the piece of mind from a forged assembly ,but it does cost more, however a well built 351 are some killer motors, it all really depends on how much cash you have. some people say use a hydrlaic cam , other like soilds , my self a solid roller is king all the way, they make more power faster and easier , my friend has a regular 351 with some wroked heads a a sloiid cam and gears and it runs 12.00 and he ****fs it at like 6000, never had any problems, we check the valves once in a while.been in there for 3 years now, shoot me an email john-dick@sbcglobal.net
