I'm working on getting the car running again right now.

@@Modifiedstreetcom I wondered where the car was now. So glad that it is in good hands. Best of luck to you in getting this ripping again! Maybe some new video will be coming?

@@duke2304 Absolutely. I'm planning on doing a build series on it! We have a couple of projects we are working on!

Yep ,,yea, & definitely !

I'm a Mopar guy and this is music to my ears.......lol

I had a 1970 cleveland and a friend had the 1970 camaro and I beat him every time we raced had 350 chevy for lunch weekly

68blownpony. hell a average 351 w would incinerate a typical 350 chevy. even my 302 could pull alot of 350 chevys.

@@homebound3740 how bad did he beat you ?

Best wishes from Australia, I hope he gets through, Cheers.

Steelgreyeyes Thank you he is doing well nowadays.

Outstanding news. I have since been transferred, but became friends with his son who continues his father's legacy, and is a gentleman in his own right.

Good to hear mate, all the best from Australia. Steve.

Steelgreyeyes did he croak?

There's plenty out there, you must be looking in the wrong bars/pubs.

don't think there would be many with a decent Cleveland engine than this around bars n pubs this thing is impressive going thru the gears and still melting the tyres one of the best powerkids on youtube ive seen even up there with the Australians power skids down under

So bars and maybe parks,,but she can't be older than 67..😀

I have a 73 Gran Torino I grew up in the backseat and my Mom finally gave it to me for my 40th birthday I got to ditch the two barrel what should I do to it in your opinion I believe it has the two CV valve heads but I'm not 100% sure I'm new to the Ford stuff

Thank you!

If u woulda lined up next to 69-70 corvette 350 4sp u woulda got ur ass handed to u. Or even nova for that matter. Ima ford guy sayin this.

@SouthernRR4501 little bit, not by alot. Cougar isa unibody car, vette fullframe.

@@GJ-DT Maybe on the quarter but on top end clevelands rule

@@deanfisher733 I do believe that back in the 70s if you wanted to build a small block the 351c was the best choice cause of cylinders heads, but back then bigblocks we're King. Nowa days there's no reason to build 351c. 408w with afr 225s is far superior. More power more torque smaller lighter package.

Look lookkkkkkk at dim dern marrrrks!

Dave's Radio Repair That's funny! You're right those big valves will scare the Chevy kids

Not much good to have those big valve heads when the Cleveland bottom ends were grenades and only good for scrap metal and that's a fact !

@@johnpena9165 Your "facts" are bullshit! I OWNED A 73 Mach 1 351 COBRA jet 4bbl q code with a c 6 trans - destroyed EVERY CRAPMARO it went against. EVEN A GNX that was fast off the line, but I quickly sprinted past after a few seconds!!! That car would SHOVE you BACK HARD WHEN ACCELERATING!!!! WHEN I SOLD IT TO MY NEIGHBOR, HE WANTED TO REBUILD THE ENGINE, ONLY TO FIND THAT IT'S LIKE NEW INSIDE!!!!!!!! I ONLY USED MOBIL 1 SYNTHETIC EVERY 3,000 MILES!!!! WAS STOPPED BY THE POLICE ONCE - I TOOK OFF FROM MY METERED ON RAMP, IMMEDIATELY GOT IN LEFT LANE (4 LANES- CALIF.) BLASTED OVER THE HILL, THEN GOT IN TRAFFIC. I SAW IN MY SIDE MIRROR A SINGLE RED LIGHT ON A CAR 8 CARS BEHIND ME. AS THE TRAFFIC SLOWLY MOVED FORWARD, THE CARS MOVED AWAY, THEN I REALIZED THE POLICE CHASE MUSTANG WAS AFTER ME. WHEN I PULLED OVER, HE ASKED ME IF I KNEW HOW FAST I WAS GOING, I DIDN'T KNOW. HE SAID HE DIDN'T EITHER, BUT HIS SPEEDO WAS PEGGED AND I WAS QUICKLY ACCELERATING AWAY FROM HIM. HE ASKED ABOUT MY CAR'S ENGINE ETC. HE GAVE ME A BREAK - 10 MPH ABOVE THE POSTED LIMIT!!!!

ODMairsoft 351 what? clev or windsor

Why this comment posted to this video I don’t know. Should be under a different video. - sure would like a GT-E though.

slashfan7964 I believe it was in the fall of 1984.

Modifiedstreetcom that's awesome anymore vids of this car??

@@TailgunnerATC I will be documenting a build series soon right here on this channel. I'm resurrecting it!

@@Modifiedstreetcom OOOOOOOO Keep me in the loop!!! Im super interested!

@@TailgunnerATC Absolutely!

love it

real burnout too. no power braking..

There are a few turbocharged Clevelands out there. But rare.

Awesome story by the way!

Trent Slay this engine was put in a fox body mustang. It ran a 9.53 on nitrous in the 1/4 in Bradenton, Fl around 1995.

Just bought a 1970 4v been on a engine stand since 1970's! Will go in one of my 4 Fox cars.

Thanks for the compliment! I'm in the process of restoring the car right now!

Thank you sir!! Still got the car, currently in the process of a restomod. Follow the channel for videos coming later this year.

Georgia

We don't remember! It was a long time ago.

This video was taken 35+ years ago. I have no idea what stall. There are more resources today than there was in 1985 though. You should have no problems finding an even better converter than the one in this combo.

I think it ran high 11s at 116-118mph

Ian Sather yes it's a C6

striebs The driver/owner is Spurgeon Adkins but the camera man is is brother who's name is Wendell Adkins but not the country singer. Our descendents are from England however.

I don't think any ......

I can't remember if it had mufflers at the time of this video or not but I doubt it had any. Its LOUD!

It has a spool

SpyMjau According to hp calculator based on 1/4 mile mph of 118 and weight of 3400, 460hp approximately.

megatapped stock bore and stroke. Edelbrock Torker intake, Comp Cam (can't remember specs).

Can you give any other specs please like compression, or carb size, stock 4v boss heads ported or unported? or Dyno hp trq numbers, Tks!

@@glasserallen I'm sorry I can't provide that information... not because its secret but because its history! 😅🤣😂 this thing is long gone!

Will Brace I believe it was in the fall of 1984.

Dave's Radio Repair It's a Edelbrock Torker intake. Comp Cam. Solid lifter. My dad can't remember the specs on the camshaft. Stock bore and stroke. Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!

That's one hell of a badass running Cleveland reminds me of how engines were built back in the day what's the horsepower? Between 450 to 500 horse at maybe about 7000 RPM with a solid lifter cam open plenum high-rise manifold and a good size carb?

It eventually got a set of 30x11.50s!

Interesting story! First gen Cougars are awesome!

Why don't you Google all those questions. You are asking questions based off of assumption and opinion. You must dislike the Cleveland?

? Use of the term “ prolly” can disqualify an opinion quickly . 2v heads do not make more power than 4v heads. The issue in 72-73 was emissions standards. With the 4v head flowing great at high rpm but soft at lower revs , especially so with lower compression ratios- it was not an ideal choice . The Cleveland’s were built in much lower numbers and as such lacked the aftermarket support. However , you might check out some of John Kasse builds with aftermarket aluminum 4v style heads. To address the “ dog “ in big cars , that’s what the larger more torquey engines were for . You mentioned 429 ,which is a 385 series big block 429/460 and great engines too . You might consider not touting specific displacements as , in the case of the 385 series engines the 429 offers no real world rpm potential advantage over the 460 and as such not worth the loss in displacement. You also mentioned an aluminum head 347 . Of course a 347 is a stroker 302 . Aluminum heads dissipate heat in a manner which allows higher compression ratios , you didn’t mention which head or which combination either. Low rpm street build or higher rpm build. As far as 4v heads needing 4:10 gears big cam etc and Anything else will run hard with just those parts ? Hyperbolic rhetoric at best . Your assertions are vague and broad, almost entirely incorrect and the few which are not invalid are simply extraneous. The video shows a car in the early 80s or so with factory heads and it runs quite hard .

you must be a misinformed chev guy,.cleveland was never a car engine,it was designed for truck bus apps.,torque as hell.,we,in the good old aus.,were the ones that made these things hoot.4v heads are stupid,8k plus,.chev guys dream of 2v ford heads.canted valves,huge valves,huge in/out.std.just need to grind the hump a bit,ex,that is..in my bronc,i have a std 351,with 302 heads,weighs 3t,beats anything across the lights.lpg only.no petrol.12.1 comp.&,economical..only decent engine chev made was a hybrid clevo,IE,,LS.,only took em 60 yrs....429.??.best engine,427,or 460..do some research.mybe head out of ass..as for boat anchors,,6.2/6.5td.gm.tru boat anchor..a possible ''good'' chev engine is the 010 block,then visit speed shop,for the rest of it.!!.oh,plus,you,ll need a 9" to go with it..funny,eh..

Thanks! Check out parts 2 and 3 on my channel!
