Thanks man I am clevo mad, One of my mates has a cool KZfaq with some mad rotaries on it. His channel is called Street Car Culture check it out!

Chris Montreuil Thanks I will pass that on to the owner mate, yes it did sound very nice, I was very happy to be able to work on it 👌

Doing the same thing on a donor highboy chassis with a 66 body. I do love the 70s trucks, though.

hawkdsl thanks mate, I appreciate some feedback!

Bear351c thanks it sure does, I’ll tell the owner

It does sounds nice . Check out my 427 clevo stroker if you want angrier

I wouldn’t mind some Higgins heads to play with one day!

Sam D I think I was told it’s a pro flow gilmer pulley set, I like to use Aeroflow too.

Its an aero flow pulley kit

Both XE fords Yellow is an s pack The blue gem is an ESP ( European sports pack) it essentially replaced the GT

No Windsor covers won’t fit on a clevo mate, they only have 6 bolts not 8 like a clevo cover. I bought these black Ford Racing covers NOS from Zox performance a long time ago. I have seen them on eBay from time to time but they are a bit pricey.

Yes I do some tuning but the dyno is the best way to tune mate.

Rockers arms wont matter. Are you using modern oil? You need to use zddp additive then. Also proper cam break in is critical

What are the specs of the cam your using this time mate?

@@thclevoking Originally Lift: .562/.588 Duration: 300/310 Duration @ .050": 234/244 Lobe Separation: 112 LC Lopey idle, 3000-6500 rpm Now i am trying a Compcams 268h which i will measure pushrods for 20 thousandths preload

@@thclevoking I never measured pushrods and used stock 8.4" compcams pushrods, maybe i didn't have the correct preload and that ground the lobes. I will try getting away with just removing and cleaning out the oil pan of the metal debris/paste.

Hydraulic cam mate, anti pump lifters. I think it did have a timing gear set from memory.

vigilante351 it was a dodgy fuel gauge mate, love your ute by the way Stu!

@@thclevoking Oh! Thanks very much man! Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff!

rokguitarstar it’s an XE ESP, they are very rare.

Does it share the same engine compartment as a early mustang it looks like one

Mac Franks this customer asked me not to say too much sorry!

@@thclevoking It is just that I have a fresh .030 over forged flat tops Cleveland short block with bare heads and I haven't built one of these engines before. I have been in search of knowledge for a while. I would prefer to do it right the first time. I am particularly trying to carve my way through all the "oiling mods" suggestions which go from nothing needed to routing lines and everything in between. I will agree to a non-disclosure agreement if that would help and this is truly just for my own build so I don't mess it up. I would then not disclose to anyone else the information I get from you on this build. Mine might take some of what has gone into this build but I also want to make it my own so it won't be a carbon copy anyway. If this is still not acceptable I will continue to research on my own where I can get good information from so my build comes out successfully. Good information seems difficult to come by in the U.S. which is where I am. So far I haven't even found an engine shop in my general area that has any expertise in the oil mods.

@@macfranks2456 thanks for the reply, please look up the clevo king on Insta or my FB page and message me we can chat in private about my opinion on clevo oiling mods to suit your cam profile, thanks Ozzy!

@@macfranks2456 , the Cleveland is an amazing performance engine and responds quite well to properly matched components. Over the course of 40 years, I’ve seen the best and worst along the way. Just know there’s a lot of misinformation about Clevelands online and I hope you will know the difference while gathering information for your build. The Clevelands Forever website is one of the oldest and best online. The engine builds archive has some good ideas that you might find useful. Check it out. 351c.net Tim Meyer is a Master Machinist and Clevelands are his specialty. He offers hardcore parts along with a few obsolete Cleveland Parts that he reproduces in his shop. He is also working with foundries here in the States to manufacture new iron and aluminum alloy blocks with updated main bearing priority oiling systems and improved strength overall. They look identical to the production D2AE four-bolt main blocks and feature full Cleveland architecture so OEM and aftermarket parts can be used. Check him out. tmeyerinc.com Tim Halstead has a good series of KZfaq videos explaining all of the various components and engine building techniques that he used to build the 408C in his ‘69 Cougar street driver. He runs consistent 9.60’s in the quarter mile using a stock block, single 4-V without power adders. The 408 dyno videos are posted too. It made 752 horsepower @ 7600 rpms and 571 lb/ft of torque @ 5600 rpms. Check him out. DragBoss

No mate done heaps of cam swaps in engine bays it’s not as easy or fun but can be done

Cool thanks. Going to have a look at a 351c XT fairmont tomorrow!

Yeah mate they have an intake available to suit too 👌

Much appreciated

Not so small what 80s yank would you put this in

Lol its a Xe falcon... 😂

You should then buy a cheap timing light with the tacho built in and look at it. Revs need to be between 2-2500rpm.

@@thclevoking thanks but i am re using my cam i have just rebuilt everything else as cam was fine do i still need to do this?

@@cruza1289 not really mate you just have to bed the rings in then as long as you put the same lifter on the same lobe with the same valve spring and pre load

It was a while since I looked at the build sheet I can’t remember exactly, but it was loaded with good parts and a proven combo that works again and again.

@@thclevoking I have 351c 4-bolt, but its pretty much standard engine. My purpose is to rebuild the engine, but I dont know must I stroke it, or keep it 351, if I want 450+ hp, and keep driving feature still ok. I dont know is that possible without stroke? If I just put there a tough camshaft, aluminum heads, better headers and intake and holley sniper.

@@69silakka easily possible I have made 450hp with basic 2v cc heads. If you invested in some trickflow heads and an edelbrock air gap and a small hydro roller cam like the comp 290hr you would surpass the 500 with the right piston choice. Or alternatively I use a lot of xe284h flat tappet hydro cams with 2v alloy heads and get around the 450 without going to too much compression. I like to use the eagle rods with the floating pin, and an SRP forged piston in those combos if it will see sustained high rpm for longer then a quarter mile run.

I did do a pre start tips and checks video with how I check timing if you want to have a look

We have about the same setup.. How do yu setup valves b4 initial start up/break in bc cam card suggests doing it hot. Do yu go loser? I have cast iron 2v heads solid lifter /roller rocker 351. Also thanks for the videos especially the intake gasket one.

Yes they are mate we didn’t make hardly any coupes here

Plenty if you have money

@@randomdude4669 dd speedshop is turning 4 door 57`s into 2 doors...pretty kool. if i lived down under, i would be chopping the hell outta cars.

@@jualarock1765 we also have extremely strict bullshit laws here stopping people from converting the base model sedans to coupes

@@randomdude4669 shitty. in the states, we put hobby plates on it and do whatever.

This wasn’t a roller cam it’s flat tappet hydraulic mate

Things are about double the cost in Aus it’s a bit sad but we are used to it. Some of the us parts are 3 times more expensive here landed.

@@thclevoking dam but I'm in new Zealand

I saw it last week and liked and subscribed to his channel. It’s a lot of work but a really cool idea!

Oh right thats great i didnt realise he had so many views

Burnt it out getting oil up to the rockers...
