[DeTomaso] New Engine Proposal

[Biancoj at aol.com]

There simply has to be a more reasonably priced, durable  351Cleveland with 
great performance,,, than spending 10K,,, this isn't  rocket science to get a 
great Cleveland engine at a reasonable price, Dan Jones  would know about this 
and the science with or without the rocket.  I think  we need a web site with 
just everyone's experience with their specific engine  and build and who built 
it, with what and who built their own.  These  engines should be pretty 
reasonable to rebuild and with the changes in  technology over the last 33 years 
they should give more usable HP at a  reasonable price.  My first engine which 
was stock except for the  X-celerator manifold and the holley carb and it had 
the 4v closed chamber heads  and ran like a scalded dog and just plain kicked 
ass.  My last rebuild 10  years ago by a bunch of YO-YOS gave me a pantera that 
has a great top end, but  acts like it can't get out of its own way getting 
there, unless I keep the RPMs  up.
 
I drive my pantera almost daily (until 16 months ago), but  when I step on 
the gas I want it to go.

Yea,  I've heard of these types for years.  They usually overbore to   
.060, have all kinds of super-ginchy tricks, with .750 lift cams,  etc.  
I've never seen a -real- engine from one though.  I  think it's more  
like urban legends. . .

a friend of mine  knows this guy, who know this engine builder who only  
does  351's.  Funny how we can never connect with him though.

You want  specs, there are two people to talk to:
- Dan Jones (because somehow he  just seems to know it all, in a good way)
- Russ Felps (who's built the  latest successful racing engines in ITBWILD)

I'd never trust a crate  motor either, unless maybe it was that $30K  
plus replacement for one  in a GT.  :)
