It's really ironic. On one hand the proponents of the Cleveland can't help about talking about the potential of a PRODUCTION engine performance wise, then proceed to list the RACING short comings VIRTUALLY as criminal?
The Cleveland isn't the only engine that when attempted to turn into a flat out race engine, flat out has problems staying together?
Both Chevys, sb and bb, and the 427 Fords, AMONGST OTHERS, all had (have) similar issues.
If you want to go Le Mans type racing with it, then for one thing, use a block intended for racing use. It's just common sense?
