Default 351 Cleveland 4V ideas

Hi,

I want to upgrade my 1970 351 Cleveland 4V to a high compression, high rpm, 450+ horse engine, with keeping my original 4V heads (restored that is). I also want that irregular idle, the horses at 3000+ rpm. I'm putting in a holeshot 3200 converter.

I need advise/ideas on what to use for a cam, pistons, headersand intake, cause I'm not familiair (yet) to the 351 cleveland, uptill now I worked only mopar 440 engines. Also need advise on a locker (Detroit locker). The car is a 1970 Mustang coupe...

Thanks!

Jeroen.

but the point was to stick with stock ford heads ( i think ) which can be made to scream with a little bit of massaging

id be going with sanderson headers and probably a parker intake as stated above....and if you can come up with the money get CHI (matching intake) or AFD heads (more for drag racing) because they will turn it into an absolute terror on the street.
