Like Mike says, the info is scattered around the web as I don't have a
personal website.  Here are a few engine builds we've done with
different Cleveland style heads:

408C with iron 4V heads and 5500 RPM street hydraulic roller cam (made
468 HP through mufflers with Ford low rise dual plane and 483 HP with
Holley Strip Dominator):

made 468 HP at this point with dual plane Ford intake

Mike Drew's 526HP @ 6000 RPM 408C with unported CHI-4V heads, ported
Blue Thunder dual plane intake manifold and hydraulic roller cam:

The 351C dyno mule write ups are scattered about but shoould be in the
email list archives.  Then there are the 351C FYI tips and the intake
manifold list along with several other engine build write ups I should
do but I just don't have the time right now.  Is there something
specific you are looking for?
