I'll probably be bugging you guys for some time to come since I've got three of these blocks laying around and would like to build 'em all. Possibly build one with the stock iron to the safest level, sell it and move on to the next one? I only need the one FE for my personal ride...Actually "need" is a bit of a stretch since the car has a perfectly healthy 289 in it but....I've got a storage building that needs cleaning out and I just don't see any sense in letting this stuff go to waste. A couple of 351 Clevelands, some complete 302's and a 429 as well. I'm trying to switch from "acquisition" mode to "make it run-make it gone" mode.

Hey Jeff, I'll probably never stop "acquiring" Ford pieces.... Matter of fact, I would be interested in knowing what Clevelan parts you may be willing to part with... On my "round-to-it" list is a couple of Torino's just begging for some high winding Cleveland horsepressure!!!!!

Tech's horsepower projections are IMO the most accurate I've seen on this site (and others for that matter).... It's definitely worth digging up all the numbers and data he needs for his software........ Hope you enjoy your time at CHR, there's a few of us Blue Oval guys here and we're always willing to give some advice and always ready to learn more about going fast with Blue Oval power!!!!!
