Ford 351 Cleveland Engines: How to Build for Max Performance Book ~ BRAND NEW!

Description: Ford 351 Cleveland Engines How to Build for Max Performance Ford's 351 Cleveland was designed to be a 'mid-sized' V-8 engine, and was developed for higher performance use upon its launch in late 1969 for the 1970 models. This unique design proved itself under the hood of Ford's Mustang, among other high performance cars. The Cleveland engine addressed the major shortcoming of the Windsor engines that preceded it, namely cylinder head air flow. The Windsor engines just couldn't be built at the time to compete effectively with the strongest GM and Mopar small blocks offerings, and the Cleveland engine was the answer to that problem. Unfortunately, the Cleveland engine was introduced at the end of Detroit's muscle car era, and the engine, in pure Cleveland form, was very short lived. It did continue on as a low compression passenger car and truck engine in the form of the 351M and 400M, which in their day, offered little in the way of excitement. Renewed enthusiasm in this engine has spawned an influx of top-quality new components that make building or modifying these engines affordable. This new book reviews the history and variations of the 351 Cleveland and Ford's related engines, the 351M and 400M. Basic dimensions and specifications of each engine, along with tips for identifying both design differences and casting number(s) are shown. In addition to this, each engine's strong points and areas of concern are described in detail. Written with high performance in mind, both traditional power tricks and methods to increase efficiency of these specific engines are shared. With the influx of aftermarket parts, especially excellent cylinder heads, the 351 Cleveland as well as the 351M and 400M cousins are now seen as great engines to build. This book will walk you through everything you need to know to build a great street or competition engine based in the 351 Cleveland platform. Review Quotes:"Unless you have years of working with the 351-C engine, this book will save you time and money by bringing you up to the current day technology applied to these engines. Take your time to read and re-read. There is plenty of information in this book just waiting for anyone who wants to learn."-- (11/04/2013) Table of Contents:Acknowledgments 4 Introduction 4 Chapter 1: Building Basics 9 Organization 10 Compression Ratio 12 Power Physics 14 Building a Cleveland Stroker 15 Chapter 2: The Block 24 Cleveland Block Identification 25 Block Preparation 32 Fasteners and Threads 34 Chapter 3: Rotating Assembly 36 Crankshaft 36 Balancer and Flywheel 42 Pistons 45 Connecting Rods 47 Displacement 50 Cleveland Stroker Kits 51 Sweat the Details 52 Chapter 4: Lubrication 55 Pump Blueprinting 56 Oil Control 57 Chapter 5: Cylinder Heads 59 Factory Iron Heads 59 Head Prep 63 Cylinder Head Sources 67 Cylinder Head Innovations 67 Jon Kaase Racing Engines 69 Powerheads Performance Engineering 70 MPG Head Service/Cam Research Corporation 71 Scott Cook Motorsports 72 Edelbrock Corporation 73 Trick Flow Specialties 74 Pro Comp USA 75 Air Flow Dynamics 75 Chapter 6: Camshaft/Valvetrain 77 Street Cams 77 Race Cams 81 Lifters 82 Valvetrain 85 Chapter 7: Induction 90 Carburetion 90 Carburetor Sources 94 Holley Carburetors 94 Edelbrock Corporation 94 Demon Carburetion 95 Proform 95 Exotic Ford Carburetion 95 Weber Induction 96 Intake Manifold 96 Electronic Fuel Injection Sources 100 MSD Ignition 100 Holley Performance Products 101 Fuel Air Spark Technology 101 Nitrous Oxide 101 Supercharging and Turbocharging 104 Chapter 8: Ignition 106 Quick Fire 106 Ignition Timing 106 Spark Knock 108 Breaker-Point Ignition 108 Electronic Ignition 109 Ignition Coils 111 Distributor Sources 111 MSD Ignition 111 Mallory Ignition 112 Performance Distributors 113 Crane 114 Magnetos 114 Ignition Wires 114 Distributor Caps 115 Spark Plugs 115 Chapter 9: Exhaust 116 Header Selection 116 Calculating Primary Tube Size 117 Secondary Tubes and Collectors 118 Equal-Length, Step, and Tri-Y Headers 118 Exhaust System 119 Chapter 10: Break-In & Tuning 122 Getting Started 122 Break-In 125 Exhaust System 127 After the Break-In 127 Chapter 11: Power Builds 128 400 Horsepower 128 MCE Engines TMeyer, Inc. 500 Horsepower 132 Trick Flow Specialties Horsepower Monster 400 134 Jeff Huneycutt 600 Horsepower 136 JGM Performance Engineering 400 Proof Positive 139 Richard Holdener Source Guide 144 SOFTCOVER. 2013. 10.94" L x 8.46" W. 144 pages.
