[DeTomaso] 351-C Rebuild

[Charles McCall]

One-piece valves is a must. I've seen firsthand what happens when two-piece valves return to their natural state.

David,

Here was my cost (upgrade suggestions from Dave Briggs (SDP) in 2008.  Ed Hale Racing did the engine
rebuild.  Nothing fancy or crazy.  I wanted it to be something maintainable and reliable. 

Pantera Engine Rebuild													
													
	New One-Piece valves												
	New Studs and Guideplates to make valve train adjustable												
	New Roller Rockers (Crowler)												
	New Flat Top Pistons.  Forged Racing Pistons												
	Low  Deck Height (cut surface of block) 												
	Keep Original CAM												
	ARP Rod Bolts.  Stronger												
	Assembly Balance
			             ==========									
	 			$3,874	

That was just the engine rebuild.  New carb, gear-reduction starter and valve covers not included.

    I have read various articles on rebuilding a 351-C and noted recommendations
    for stronger valves, valve seats.. Is there a list of generally recommended
    changes / upgrades to include and what is the reasonable cost for the total
    rebuild.
    
     
    
    Thanks,
    
    Dave
