I'm NOT as thin-skinned as a defective Chinese condom, so PLEASE be honest in your comments. I believe the narrow lobe separation will hinder my desire to build a high-revving Cleveland. I currently have accumulated the following parts...a Virgin bore 351C 4 bolt main block that has been magnafluxed & sonic tested for thickness. H beam Eagle stock length rods. Ross Racing pistons. Scorpion Race Series 1.73 ratio roller rocker arms on 7/16 shafts with guide plates. Jomar stud girdle. Professionally ported & polished iron 4V head with titanium intake valves, stainless exhaust, titanium retainers & keepers & dual springs. Knife edged & profiled 4MA Cleveland crank weighing 50lbs. ALL bolts are ARP. Aluminum flywheel & pullies. Kevko baffled oil pan & Milidon windage tray. Comp cam hydraulic roller lifters. Blue Thunder intake manifold with a Holley 4779 carb. 180 degree headers. MSD distributor & ignition system. Ford SVO High Performance full roller multi-index timing chain set. High flow aluminum water pump, Victor Reinz head gaskets, etc, etc, etc. Tried to collect....."The Best of the Best" ( without breaking TOO MANY Piggy Banks)....NOW I NEED THE CAM!!!....I want a "HIGH REVVING" 6,500+ Cleveland that will idle nicely & PULL throughout the powerband!!!...am I looking for a Unicorn in a field of 4 leaf clovers???!!!....HELP!!!......Mark
