I just pulled the Cleveland out of my '72 Pantera and discovered that it has 2-bolt mains with closed-chamber heads. I assume it is out of a Torino or such. I'm looking to build a 450hp mild-performance engine for street and ORR. Any one want to voice an opinion on what to do?
A - Go ahead and build it with the 2-bolt main block and just keep the rpms below 6300.
B - Build a grocery-getter and forget about running ORRs.
C - Bite the bullet and locate a rebuildable 4-bolt block and start over.
D - Find the deepest lake within a one-day drive and pitch the 2-bolt block somewhere near the center of the lake.
E - Some combination of the above.
