Default Re: What camshaft/converter/gears for Cleveland

thanks grey88gt, i already have 2 other cars i can drive around that get decent gas mileage and the car i'm going to put this in will be strictly a toy so as long as it sucks up all that fuel and turns it into torque and horsepower i'm fine with it. I was debating on whether to use the moroso oil restrictor kit or to run a line to the sending unit, i guess i'll see what i decide to get when i order the gasket kit and other stuff i'll need.
I had a '78 F150 with a 400M and man was that thing a fuel sucking slug. 11 miles per gallon whether you romped on it or grannied it, it didn't matter. 2 1/4" single exhaust with stock exhaust manifolds, stock cam with stock retarded crank sprocket and 2 barrel intake....ugh. It's amazing how ford was able to completely kill the output of all their 70's engines.
