kllrjo yes and mostly with Ford motors. I love how these guys get on here and try to say that Ford motors won't make horsepower. the record books contradict that. it's funny how GM and Mopar guys are always the bad boys when they win, but when a Ford wins they have always got some lame excuse why they got beat. I think all of the big three had a lot of success back in the day, but none of them had a monopoly on engine design and developing horsepower.

I love it that Jon has been building great Ford products for over 45 years! I'd love to see him develop competitive Ford based engines, just like the Hemi continuations for T/F & F/C!!!

I built a 351C for a '67 fastback Mustang I had back in high school and that engine was so freakin' powerful! I could get a chirp in every gear and could smoke 'em at freeway speed, just drop it into third and dump the clutch. Never had so much fun in a car and that engine never let me down. The secret to that engine was the month of port work I put into it, measuring and re-measuring each intake runner to get them shaped right and smooth out all the casting flash and rough surfaces. The exhaust side got an extensive polishing of the valve heads, combustion chambers and piston tops. Would love to know what happened to that car and engine. My current project is doing the same thing to a Corvair engine/drive train, w/ the end-goal of 200+ RWHP to motivate that 2750lb. chassis around the autocross courses.

The '68 came with an FE 428, my 69 Cougar had a 428 SCJ from the factory. There was lots of room, just the 4 bolts per port headers were tedious a bit. The 68 Cougar had an extremely fast race car issued by Ford with drag slicks. The Cleveland and of course 429 Boss will have clearance issues, but can be done. 428's outperformed the 429's for a long time. At stock displacement they have too much flow, they really do better at 500 cubic inches or more. Mr Kaase builds them well over 600 cubic inches, I've heard of 700 cid even. A 427 crank in a 428 gives you an easy 454 cid to start with. Put in Monte Carlo bars and solid motor mounts even with a stock FE. You can save the shoe horn for those fancy Italian spider squisher 👞 Cheers 🍻

@@culbycars....The Cleveland is an excellent choice for your Cobra replica kit car. One of the best features of a kit car is being able to choose the engine and drivetrain combination. If someone wants to build a replica of the original, then they are limited to only two choices, the underpowered 289 or the expensive 427. Since the Cobra is all about extreme performance, then why not choose an engine that can deliver different levels of extreme without the extreme price tag ? The 351 Cleveland is one of the most misunderstood engines in history and thanks to the internet, there’s more misinformation than ever before. But the engine itself isn’t all that complicated and the selection of aftermarket components and performance parts is the best its ever been. I’ve been into drag racing Fords since 1964 and Clevelands specifically for 40 years. KZread has some great sources for Clevelands that are based on the facts instead of the hype and could be very helpful for anyone interested in building a Cleveland. The DragBoss Garage has plenty of great Cleveland videos including the 408 Cleveland stroker he built for his ‘69 Cougar. It’s built using readily available parts like the production cast iron block that he has been using for 20 years. The engine doesn’t use nitrous or forced induction/supercharging. Just a single four barrel Holley and Ford A3 aluminum heads from the eighties. On the dyno it made 752 horsepower at 7600 rpms and 571 pounds of torque at 5600 rpms. His street/ strip all steel Cougar runs consistent 9.60 second quarter mile times with this engine. A Cleveland like this could put a lightweight Cobra in the seven second quarter mile zone without costing a fortune. I buy a lot of my Cleveland parts from Timothy Meyer. He specializes in Cleveland specific parts including his TrackBoss aluminum alloy Cleveland block. Check it out. tmeyerinc.com

@ Leo Karasinski....I owned my first ‘69 428 CJ , Ram Air Mach 1 in 1971. I was 17 and still on a steep learning curve. It was a torque monster with the C6 automatic and would boil the G60/15 Uniroyals easily at any speed below 60 when it would downshift into first gear. It was a blast to race against original 426 Hemis, 427 Chevys, 440 six pack Chryslers and all of the first generation of factory muscle cars so common on the streets then. For decades I thought there was no way in hell a 4.6 liter Mustang could possibly come close to the 428 CJ in brute force performance. WRONG 😳. In 2003 a very trusting woman I worked with let me borrow her ‘03 Mustang Cobra Terminator for a 2 hour test drive BY MYSELF one nice springtime afternoon in Atlanta. The first time I hammered the throttle and heard the Eaton Supercharger scream i was hooked. For the next couple of hours I pushed her Cobra to it’s limits constantly and it performed flawlessly. Smoking the radials through the first 3 gears from every stoplight or sign. Hard cornering on deserted streets out in the suburbs. Top end runs in low traffic areas on interstate highways and even a few panic stops from 150 mph on the interstate when traffic got screwed up suddenly. As awesome as my Cobra Jet Mustang was the 428 was no match for the blown little 281 in the high technology Modern Cobra. The old Mach 1’s front disc/rear drum brakes would have faded out becoming useless quickly. The big torque monster 428 CJ would have overheated at sustained speed above 140. The modern Cobra has good overall balance and would corner like a slot car. The nose heavy 428 would try to push right into a ditch if pushed near its limits. I LOVED MY ‘69 428 CJ MACH. It was awesome in its day. But the natural order of evolution through technology has resulted in a true world class performance Mustang with much bigger highly refined BALLS. 😄

@Daniel Wilson Nobody is arguing that. Yes, technology has allowed a 5.0 Mustang to out run a Boss 9. But, for those of us that grew up in the muscle car era, there is nothing like a big block engine. Especially, big block Fords and Mopars. I can't get too excited about a new small block engine that doesn't even resemble a muscle car engine and I can't do anything to it without a computer. I'd take a Boss 9 any day over these new ones. To each his own.

@@1LOCKNLOAD Perhaps my choice of words delivered the wrong message. I think the early muscle cars are great. That’s probably why I’ve owned my 1970 Mustang Mach 1 with the 351 Cleveland 4-V for 37 years 👍.

@Daniel Wilson Nice! My only oldie now is my '69 F-250 w/390.

I would like one of those Boss 429's for a pick up truck. A real stump pulling engine (Big Evil Grin).

Cammer got all this low and mid lift flow, almost as much as a DOHC head on that bore. Someone said it stretches the torque and HP peaks. I wasn't seeing anything about peak power gains mentioned. Can someone discuss what an abundance of low lift flow does with the same camshaft on a head that has the same mid and hi lift flows.?

Love to have one of those aluminum FE blocks for my 75 F250. Already came from the factory with a 390 FE but it has problems so I need a bolt in replacement.

All thosse wonderful parts and you don't put EFI on it?

I always wondered why the passenger side spark plug wires are biased towards the rear of the valve cover versus centered on the driver side on the valve cover. Why is that?

The heads must be side specific as opposed to most engines that we are familiar with. Just a thought.

I wish I had one just to put in my 79 f150 lariat
