hi

ok hi all

stumbled across this forum and TMEYER's parts web site as looking in to the 400 clevelands

thinking of buying one doing some modification to it with a whipple kit I already have and fit a sequential injection and spark system and couple with a hd wr aod trans and fit to my car

ps im in Australia and the car is a 1979 ford fairlane that was std with a 351c

currently quite striped back as doing rust then repaint (the hole rebuild thing) has 9" leather interior vinyl roof and full electrics

Nathan

ok looks like im picking up this complete modified engine runner with auto (prob a c6) only thing that may stop me is if its only a 351m instead of a 400 , and strongly thinking 4 speed wr auto , either e4od or modified aod with jw ultra bell ended with a true trac 9" with a ratio aprox 3.25 to 1




motor is meant to be out of an early 80's f150 2wd
my plan to add to the rebuild clean up is a pair of cj v4 oc heads with aprox 76cc , an aprox 32cc forged anodised piston set with a ecu set up sequential spark and injection intake toped by a whipple with a valley mounted intercooler sunk down in the valley with a modified manifold , my guestamate is it will end up in the area of an aprox high 13's to low 14's to 1 compression ratio
