I have a good question for you aussie fans. Does the aussie built 302' cleveland have the smaller diameter bearings like the American built 351c's?(=high revs) How about the forged crank?:drool:
That would make sence due to the 351 having a 5.78 rod and a half inch longer stroke. I didnt think they would put a piston in it with a 1.85 compression height.
If someone wanted to build a long rod 351C, that'd be an easy way to do it, it seems; some custom pistons (hell, there might be an off the shelf piston out there for it), the Aussie rods (I've seen 'em cheap on EBay) and a factory crank. Huh, that'd be an interesting motor to see run, really see how rod length effects performance.
