Im 30 over as well FF. However I went with the eddy cam. Im now having cam regret as it would be great for lumpity noises. But with the big overlap, Im pretty much throwing my fuel savings from efi out the tailpipe. So now im thinking I dont need the lumpity noise. And a 255deh may be in my future.

On the oil pan. Does an oil pan from a 351m/400 fit a 351C ?
Like my '78 Bronco had? Rear Sump? It's been too long...and it's too pre-coffee...

There used to be a good article on building a BOSS with clever heads in Peterson's Ford Annual about 70,71.It showed all the parts to build it with factory ford numbers.I think you need a custom intake that I don't know if they make anymore.

web search 400 rear sump truck pan or 351c fox body pan. AOD tarnny on some of the pans can cause issues. Dont hesitate to call before ordering.

I do hope you order a triangulated rear suspension rather than a parallel 4 bar for the street unless you are planning on a drag racer.

FATBAR WITH AIR RIDE-No Limit Engineering

This is what i have ordered ish, they haven't shipped yet so can be changed. It is a No-Limit Fat bar 4 link with air ride, I have read to many forums and everything else and many have really liked this setup. Im new to the 4 link suspension setup so leaning as i go.

So i ended up cancelling my order from No Limits due to various customer service issues and delays. I ended up switching to Helix and a triangulated rear suspension.
Off topic any suggestions on a good cooling radiator and tranny cooler with electric fan kits for the 351C and C6 combo?
