I am from Austria /Europe so it is verry hard for me to buy from different suppliers.

My Engine is a two bolt block and the doae heads.
I have a weber intake and only stock pistons.
Stock rods.
Can you help me to get the engine running?
The Problem here in Europe is that nobody can Balance a crankshaft.
So I would need a complete ready to go set , but this is verry expensive to ship.
It is realy terrible here in my country. Even nobody have a Tool for give new bearings for the cam!

In looking around, it seems that your request is on the unusual side.

All of the shops that I know of balance your parts.

You may be able to find someone willing to do a package for you, including the flywheel and balancer, but I don't know of anyone and it is pricey to ship.

You also will not be in control of the selection of the components.

MME, Mark Mckeon, was in favor here at one time. I don't know now. Perhaps George can help you with this?

I do know of a piston manufacturer that will make you pistons TO ANY dimension of overbore that you want including the rings.

The pistons are around $500 for the set. Rings $100. Let me know if you want that contact information?

Seek Willi Braun (Heidesheim, Mainz-Bingen) for assistance. Perhaps he'll be found searching under RennPantera.

Or try Roland Jackel from Germany , he Alway is kind to help

Hello thank you, I think the best for me is to buy a running block and bolt on everything I have...

Does anybody knows a company who is able to deliver me a good block ?

We have two engine Shops here in Austria and never heard from mallory metal ...
Also I do not want to go to Germany.
So I will sell my stock block and buy a running block...
I think it is easier ...

What do you think about Speedmaster products?

They have verry cheap but how is the quality ?

the price is the best indicator of the quality

Speedmaster/Procomp is a case where I doubt you even get what you pay for

Run!

RUN!!

BTW, the valve length they listed is a LOT shorter than stock replacement 351C valves

I've found them listed @ 5.230" for the intakes & 5.05" for the exhausts

have a look at http://www.alexsparts.com/cate.../FORD-351-CLEVELAND/

I noticed the guide cutters are listed under 351M/400

here is the best current price I can find for the Lisle 18000, ships worldwide

But the lifters are ok from this brand ?

Go here. They have everything that you need or want. The parts are all made in the USA. No Chinese stuff.

http://www.precisionengineparts.com/

These are the suppliers to companies like Edelbrock, AFR, etc.

Prices are very reasonable and the parts really are the state of the art at this moment.

You will need to open a commercial account with them and can do it all by email. They will and do ship overseas.

You open the account with a $100 first purchase. You can use a CC.


If you can't find what you need here there are only two possibilities 1) you don't need it 2) you don't know what you are looking at and don't know what you want.

The company is in Las Vegas, NV.
