[DeTomaso] heads

[Dan Mixon]

Torbjorn,

There's a book for rebuilding Cleveland's that is extremely helpful. "How to
Rebuild Ford V8 Engines" by Tom Monroe. It covers the Cleveland family
(351C, 351M & 400) and the 429/460 family which has similar architecture.

Dear Torbjorn,

You are new to Cleveland engines. I have some recommended links for your
education.

1) Dan Jones' excellent review of Cleveland engines: blocks, head,
manifolds, everything:
www.mustangsandmore.com/ubb/351Ctips.html

2) Dave Williams' site has some excellent stuff about Cleveland engines
including pictures!

www.bacomatic.org/~dw/engine/ford/sbf.htm

3) More Cleveland engine info and pictures

www.bacomatic.org/~dw/engine/fordv8.cleve/cleve.htm


If you'll visit those three sites, you should have a wealth of good
information and recommendations about Clevelands to begine your engine
building odessey (Nordic epic story).

Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
