and i bored it out .50 over performance crank and cam from clifford, aluminum head, msd, ford old stock oem 2 barrel tri-intake, split drag/street headers flowing threw 2 inth primaries,
originaly it pumped over 400 hp but we had build a twin turbo manifold for it with 2 T 40 turbos and it was propane powered
but the motor had to high a compression rate and blew the head so we went in a different direction

Well since you've got the parts, do the clever! I think the only extra machine work is to drill, tap and plug a couple holes in each Cleveland head and then drill a couple new ones. The detailed instructions were included with the intakes, or you can search out the info on the internet.
