hey guys thanks for the reply on my previous post on what engine i should go with. im going to get a 351 cleveland for a few reasons one reason is everbody goes with 351w because of the availibilty of parts and its cheaper to build but i like to be diffient i havent heard of anybody haveing one in a 63 comet my 2nd reason is its not going to take much to hit my goal of 400 to 450 hp considering they start off with right round 270 to 320 hp. But my main reason is my father had a 4v 351 cleveland in his 72 torino and still talks about that engine. for what ever reason when was 6 im 29 now i remember that him and couple of his buddys took me to old cloverleaf race track thats not there anymore here cleveland it was the last race of the season and who everone season had to race a spectator for fun. my dad had told me he had to go to the bath room after the last race. next thing i know i seen him his torino pull on the race track and pull up to the season winner. I dont remember how many laps but he was winning the race ontill the last turn when he got hit from behind and hit the wall and he lost the car was totaled.when we was leaving the driver of the race car stop us when we was in the towtruck and said SORRY I COULD NOT PASS U AND I COUND NOT LOSE TO A SPECTATOR.... BY THE WAY IT WAS A WOMAN DRIVER
