[TPR] 351 Cleveland heads good going Dennis. 360 degree headers from Lee

[Lee Pedersen]

I have not decided yet which way to go been trying to call comp cams and see what cam would make what horse power with my 71 engine with 10.7 pistons and Boss 351 heads.  Heads had no valve recession and fairly low mile.  New York trip was done with my other engine.  We made it back from Eau Clair Wi. to Salem in 17 hours without stopping except for gas. Previous mention engine.  It has the only cam offered by SVO back in the day (1980's) and it was a wonderful performer. I ran a Edelbrock dual plane.  It was the engine that I ran at 105 mph all night threw Montana.  I have custom scoops on my car and I ducted cold air to a hand made stainless plenum box atop a 730 cfm Holley carb.  I stopped at Dearborn for the national Shelby convention and no one believed we drove there!  (The car was red then)  I have a photo of it parked with all the others on a rise buy the headquarters.  After that I went to Niagara falls and came back threw part of Canada down to Wisconsin.  Oh ya, did the Shelby Club open track at Mid Ohio on the way in to Dearborn.  It was fun back then.  Most drove very hard.  A Boss 429 got a ticket leaving Dearborn for about 126mph getting on the free way by HQ.  It was blown if I remember correctly and was published in the SAAC news letter.
I am off to Vegas by myself for the Barrett auction.  I have a rental car and a two bedroom condo if someone would like to come.

 You should share with the group that THAT is the build YOU are doing. Inquiring minds want and need to know….as I think no one else is moving ahead still with a new build.Ransom’s engine builder just did a basic  stock build. And he is already done but sounds like he has a 400RWHP

I agree with what you guys are saying about the close chamber stock iron heads. The Boss heads I ran were amonst the best I ever ran.
I tend to disagree a little with the aluminum head comment. I was fortunate enough to get a pair of the "old" (1982) Ford Motorsport A3 headss for my engine.
They are a good compromise between decent low end torque and out and out Bonzi flat out power.

My suggestion is that don't pass up a pair that is available. The highport exhausts tend to work pretty well in a Pantera with 180 degree headers. Buy them if you can especially if you can get a matching intake with them. You won't be disappointed in them.

If you want to build an 8,500rpm street/track Pantera they are the way to go in my opinion. Don't even look for the C302 heads.
