I'd have to look back to find them! We're talking 20 years ago! But, there are great Windsor heads available! It just so happens that a Victor Jr Windsorvhead happens to have almost the same flow numbers as the 4v Cleveland heads? The 3" mains take alot of oil, but it'll stay together if you make sure they get enough oil! 427 Dart block Windsors were awesome! But the lS motors came along! They were so cheap who cared how long the pos lasted! If I got back into it, I'd build a 427 Windsor using a Dart block! Whatever it did on a 250 shot, or 12 lbs of boost would be fine! Run the bastard 10 passes in one night! He's got 5 of them at the shop, but only one to night!

Love these engines, down here in Australia we got them right up to 1985. Tough as nails. We had an oddball de-stroked 302ci displacement Cleveland as well. The heads from those use the standard 2v ports (220cfm stock intake) and a 2.02/1.76 valve arrangement in a small, efficient, quench style chamber of 58cc capacity. Not bad factory heads for street use, they bump a 351C up to about 10.7:1 compression, just right for about 220 to 230@50 duration of cam and a four barrel. I love the Elgin E-907-P in these motors!

The Chevy small block is the most popular engine for racing, but it's too bad more people don't realize the power of the Cleveland. From a design standpoint, the Cleveland is much better than the SBC. It was the engine that dominated Pro Stock from around 1973 until the NHRA changed the class to 500" inch big block motors. It was also hated by the NHRA because of this, so they made anything with Cleveland power carry the most weight. Been playing with Cleveland's for over 40 years now, and with all things being equal, they will totally destroy a small block Chevy. And with more modern aluminum cylinder heads, it just gets better yet!
@SweatyFatGuy Жыл бұрын
There are two reasons the chevy is popular. 1. They made close to a billion of the orange lumps, you could blow one up every weekend and find another in a junkyard. Read that as cheap. 2. The magazines needed to sell ad space, and the sbc needs the aftermarket to make power. With so many engines made that need aftermarket parts the volume for them was immense. The trick was getting people to believe the sbc was a good engine. Compared to every other engine built by GM since 1954, its a pos with crap machining and design, its barely adequate and cheaply made. The reason they kept it in production so long is because it was a few pennies cheaper to produce, because of fewer machining operations and parts, all of which ads up when you're building a million engines every year. If you want to build big power with them, its going to cost you and the sbc is not going to live as long. The bbc is REALLY going to cost you and it needs the aftermarket too, both of them need RPM to make power, but the bbc has the drawback of its heavy valvetrain. Sure they can make power, but getting them to rev enough is $$$. Compared to the Cleveland, the sbc is really bad. I think the magazines started the rumor about Cleveland's not having any torque, because I knew that was false in the 1980s when I was running 4V Clevelands. There was no lack of bottom end with mine, they are the only small blocks to impress me. The fastest cars in my area were 4V powered Mustangs, and a Cuda with a 440 that had 11:1 compression and a tunnel ram with lots of lightening on the Cuda. That Cuda is still around and he drives it sometimes. My 4Vs scared all my chevy friends... the Pontiacs REALLY made them upset.

Why waste money building a expensive platform when you save money buying and building an LS much cheaper to make more power
@SweatyFatGuy Жыл бұрын
@@bethanyhaskiell9116 I agree entirely for replacing the sbc with an LS engine. The LS is superior to the sbc in almost every way. The Cleveland isn't that expensive to build, they are on par with Windsors, except you make a lot more power with the Cleveland using stock/reworked factory parts. Not having to buy aftermarket heads saves quite a bit of money. The ones Richard showed in this video were mild builds, there is a lot more potential in the Cleveland than this dynos show. Depending on what you want, the LS might not be the way to go, and certainly not the cheapest. Compared to the sbc its a good upgrade, but if you want torque that makes a bbc look pathetic so you can run a highway gear and an overdrive to get good mileage along with the power, the chevy is not the way to go, in any form. Most people think you need RPM to make power, and they also think drag cars need deep gears and big stall converters, but there are other ways to achieve the same things. Its a lot more fun driving some distance in a ten second car that has 3.08 gears than a ten second car with 4.56s. Its less expensive too. Torque is what moves vehicles, gears, high stalls, and RPM are merely trying to make up for a lack of torque. Its hard for guys who like small engines, or chevys in general, to grasp what I mean. Then you have potential. With an LS on 20psi you get what, 1000hp or so? The engine I am working on today will make roughly 2000hp/tq with 20psi. 7-10 psi will be around 1000, and the torque off idle will be ludicrous. Get it to hook and it will not only be faster, it will also live longer without spinning to 7500+.
@thatturbotruck Жыл бұрын
@@SweatyFatGuyyou don't need rpm to make power in an LS it depends how you build it the reason you see people using rpm is it does the exact opposite of what you would think. It makes the motors live under boost. Revving high and making the next shift out of peak tq keeps boosted engines alive especially stock bottom end engines. If you shift at low rpm from say 2nd to 3rd in a 4l80 the next gear is more load and your shifting it into peak tq rpm that spike in cylinder pressure is what hurts them more than rpm. Rpm is only hard on rod bolts and valvetrain. The LS gen iv rods doesn't have rod bolt issues up to the mid 7000rpm range so all that leaves is valve train. Good set of dual springs and one piece pushrods help in that area.
@thatturbotruck Жыл бұрын
Tq does move vehicles especially heavy ones but HP is just tq over a given amount of time (rpm). So in reality you can make 600ft lbs of tq at 5000rpm and 500ft lbs at 6000rpm. While the tq is lower at 6000rpm the engine is making power 3000times vs 2500times at pk tq. For mathematical purposes 2500x600 is 1,250,000. 3000x500 is 1,500,000.

Ford had a real winner with the 335 series engines. Sadly, the 351C, especially the high performance versions, died quickly in the U.S. thanks to rising gasoline prices and increasing regulations on fuel economy and emissions. The taller block 351M and 400 continued on in medium and full size cars and full size pickup trucks until around 1980, if I recall correctly. Unfortunately, Ford designed the 351M and 400 to be emissions friendly, low rpm, low performance engines. They can be built into performance engines, but they never were in stock form.

Plus if I remember I think the 4 bolt main blocks were cast with a slightly more nickel content. IMHO I think, as do you the 351 BOSS is the best small block of the day. I've built SBC. Nothing wrong with them. But we built them because stuff for them was plentiful and cheap. However, I had '73 Cougar XR7 with a Q code 351CJ and a C6.

@@HOTRODINATOR The 351 Cleveland came with huge intake and exhaust ports along with 2.19 intake valves and 1.71 exhaust valves. This when most small block high performance engines had 2.02 intake and 1.60 exhaust valves. The camshaft was very mild for such a performance engine compared to the small block Chevy which ran a camshaft with something like 240-245 degrees intake at .050 while the Cleveland ran a camshaft with something like 226 degrees of intake duration at . 050 inch camshaft lift. This head flows as much air as big blocks of the era and more than some. It flows nearly exactly what a stock 460 head flows on the intake and more than a 460 on its exhaust side. That's why your dad referred to it as a big block head. The best small block factory head to be developed from the factory. The 4 barrel heads are huge even the 2 barrel carburetor heads had bigger intake valves than the other small block factory heads at 2.05 valves .

ANOTHER suggestion for a video: A UNIQUE cam test! Hypothesis 1: for some durations and engine speeds, lift matter little, but duration matters a lot, and vice versa. Hypothesis 2: for a blown motor, with less chance of excessive reversion, lift matters even less. Hypothesis 3: using revs and boost, one can get plenty of power without parts-breaking torque peaks which make the overall car build far more expensive overall than simply slapping on a blower and some mildly stiffer springs with a low-lift, low-stress but long-duration cam setup. Hypothesis 4: long duration with low lift carries off high-RPM power more than short-duration but high lift. Find the effects of overall lift, overall duration, and ramp speed of some relatively-similar cams. The "ramp speed" portion can be done by just swapping in some super-super-low-ratio rockers, normal rockers, and some super-duper-high-ratio rockers. Using three widely-varying cams timings (in duration) vary two parameters in each set of cams of the same duration: A) Cam set 1: super-low-lift B) Cam set 2: medium (kinda normal) lift C) Cam set 3: Super-high-lift that would even make a Pro Stock motor envious Then, do a test to find just how much valve acceleration off of closed affects lift, using super-duper-stiff springs in the Pro Stock region of open and seat pressures for experimental consistency. D) Cam 1: super-slow-opening that could easily be handled by the laziest valve springs E) Cam 2: Normal camshaft profile F) Cam 3: Super-fast opening just short of float with the super-stiff springs. Run all the cam configurations the same RPM from idle to 9000 RPM Graph results. What will be demonstrated is the answer to some questions: A) for a "low-RPM cam," is lift as important as timing? B) For all the cam timings, do either fast valve events or extra lift do the most good? C) Will cam timing enable good results at higher RPM with lower lift, enabling more people to run higher revs than is common now? It's one thing to move a valve 0.300" off the valve seat at 9000 RPM, but it takes MULTIPLES OF the force to start and stop them if they are a 0.900" lift valve event. Instead of a 900 pound seat pressure used for vaulting the valves WAY off the seats a la Pro Stock, one could get away with about 300 pounds of seat pressure, in theory. energy equals mass times velocity squared. D) Can an engine get away with far less lift if the engine is boosted, with a centrifugal supercharger, for example? If super-low-lift but long duration enables John Q. Public to run a 9,000 RPM motor with a blower where normal or high lift would make the valve motion just too crazy to control, then this opens up a world of horsepower for the guy off the street who doesn't have the money for a super-duper-built transmission, heavy-duty driveshaft, and Pro Stock-level valvetrain. John can just get some kinda-stiff but not ridiculous valve springs and maybe just some roller-fulcrum rockers and enjoy the fun. Test run one going through the low-lift set of cams with short, medium, and long duration, and also slow, normal, and super-fast ramp speeds: A) naturally aspirated B) boosted Test run two using normal-lift cams with short, medium, and long duration, also: A) natty B) blown Test run three does the same with super-duper-high-lift cams, also: A) natural B) blown During any of the three test runs, the exaggerated-low-ratio rockers, normal, and exaggerated-high-lift rockers can be tried also. This could provide reference-book-level material for amateur engine builders the world over.

I think the motor was stock but high mileage. Still it ran better with just more intake and exhaust flow. I wanted to rebuild it with a better cam, maybe some light head work, 4V and headers but the car was such a rust bucket and I bought a new truck instead. I do remember back in the 80s there aluminum 4V intakes for Cleveland 2V heads, but they were pricy. Anyway, I suspect there were more 4V conversions back then than anyone remembers.

@ldnwholesale8552 Жыл бұрын
Gee,,Edelbrock worked out that the 4Vs were way too big. And useless! I have a Performer on my 400 Galaxie and the intakes are smaller than the 2V heads. About a Chev race port size!! 400? So what did you use, a 3" main M engine crank with odd rods.Turned down tp 2 650. 400M has an inch taller deck. The Aussie 302C head gives more compression with a better chamber and realistic intake & exhaust runners. 4Vs make good door stops. Or small boat anchors.

World Record as in Guiness came out and officially recognized the world record? Or like an official Bonneville land speed record? or just an internet "world record"? That's a lot of power for a 400-inch motor (but I think 400-inch sprint car motors make more), I'm just trying to figure out the World Record thing.

Same bore spacing and bolt pattern as a Windsor but much beefier block architecture and race oriented canted valve heads . Word has it that the front timing chain housing cast into the block and the head architecture is courtesy of Oldsmobile and Chev engineers the Ford crew poached for the design.

@@gdaytrees4728 The 351 C was released in September 1969. The Emission standard was changed for 1971. There was no point in building a engine aimed at Performance when emission standards limited power to ridiculous low rates. By 1973 power was as low as 200 hp for a 351 engine. To make 200 hp Ford didn't need the Huge ported of the Cleveland. The Chevy and Dodge engines were built early enough they had performance history, Ford had the 351 W engine to use as a low performance engine, this left no place for the Cleveland unless you were an Aozzy!
