A common trick in the seventies was to stick the 1970 heads on the 1972 cobra jet, and install the OHO hydraulic cam (same timing specs as the Boss 351 cam, 0.505" lift). Equipped in this manner the motor was very strong over a very wide power band, it was a Boss 351 that didn't need its valves adjusted. Adding headers and a 750 Holley pushed its output to 370 to 380 bhp. The motor idled with a slight lope and had good drivability, and exploded into its powerband at 3000 rpm. The sbc & Mopar guys had nothing equivalent, yet the Cleveland could do this with just a few bolt-ons.

Yeah jack! That's what I'm a talking. Old school rules. That is what I am gonna do a couple of years from now. DeTom likes that build.
