Need some advise since I've been out of the loop for about 25 years. I have a 70 Mach I with the 351C 4v carb. I remember these cars as very fast. My son and I are restoring this car and pulled the motor today. I'm sending the rest off for someone else to fix for me. Anyway, we want a street/strip car. It had an automatic but the car is set up for a 4 speed which I have in another Mach I. Will the flywheel from the 351Winsor motor work on the Cleveland?

What about preformance parts, I know holley, aluminum intakes. Not sure what hydralic cam to use and what to have done to the heads. Seems like the Cleveland blocks had some oiling problems that needed correcting too.

Would you change pistons, if so, what compression?

Thanks for any advise!!!

Ronnie
