Heads

Fuel Pump
Water Pump
Pistons
Oil Pan
Some timing components
Probably some other stuff too.

Intake manafold is wider which limits your intake manifold options. I am working on that. It's basically a stroked 351C! stock! It was never looked upon as much of an engine because of the way it was configured from the factory. Choked heads, smog stuff, etc. HP in the late 70's or early 80's got as low as 158. BUT it's all about the bolt on's; Heads, cam, intake, exaust, cr, it has the same potential the cleveland does plus 50+ more CI.

Well with the extra inch of deck height you should be able to run a stroker crank from Coast performance and take your 400 way up on cubes. Have a 500 cube small block!! If some is good, more is better.
