I could see where Jack Rousch could say, that eventually you will crack the block through the main webs.


I have received testimony from several racers that when they started using ATI dampeners their Cleveland blocks stopped cracking.

Johnson lifters supplied the original Boss 351 solid flat lifter (with an internal oil metering plate). That lifter, still supplied by Johnson lifters, is sold by Crower Cams under part number 66915X980-16P. This part number also specifies Crower’s best surface finish and best heat treatment.
