Is this car in a new episode? Haven't been watching the MT channel for awhile as it got to where I was just seeing re-runs mostly.
351c can be made to provide a ton of power (one of the highest output per cubic inch potential of any oldschool V8 ever created). I think I would have just stayed with a Cleveland vs an engine swap myself. I understand these made for TV car shops don't have hardcore engine builders on staff with the tools and knowledge to do that stuff so that is why crate engines are their go to.
351 Cleveland was an underrated overlooked high RPM screamer. With those 4bbl closed chamber big port big valve heads I don't understand the disdain and disregard for the Cleveland.
