351 C 2bbl History ??
I'm curious how this engine started @ 164 hp and is now factored @ 240 hp. I see a 72 165/350 chev with more compression & a slightly bigger carb is between 224 - 230. I know I have the bigger ports/valves with the cleveland but I'm not finding that advantageous. I know of one person who tried the 351c 2bbl route but he couldnt run the numbers. Has somebody run this succesfully to get the # to 240 or was this just an NHRA "THING"? :rolleyes:

On a lighter note, they are a lot more receptive to giving these combos back HP than they have ever been. |

Bill,
I think this is the car that put the hurt on that combo BUT it was a while ago. 8. Rob Youngblood, Nampa, Idaho, D/S '71 Mustang, 10.698 (-1.102) He races a Vette now. |

Billy,
Did some research. The 71 is the same engine rated @ 240 in both sides of the classification guide. The 70 has a little more cam, carb, & compression & is @ 250. I dug out an old old Motor's manual & looked up the 70 & it also had it rated @ 250 @ 4600 & torque was 355 @ 2600. Since apparently Ford had this thing (71,72) @ 240 do you think NHRA will go below that ? |

Bill, I doubt it!
Dave, yup. |
