[69bronco]

ya u have time to rev it up and dump it, but im runing a racing C-6 with a 4000RPm stall converter so i just hold the brake untill in hits 4000 then let off ,then smash the gas to the floor. but last sunday was my frist bog with the new 351 and it took off the line like a rockit, then i slamded it into 2st when it hit 7000rmp, then i was flyin thought the muddyest part and had to shift down into 1st and it ran out of power and fell below 4000 and stoped

IMHO that sounds like an "RPM" game. Big Blocks aren't gonna like that. Get the tires hummin', get your right foot past the carb and into the water pump, and hold on!

Have you considered dropping "down" to a 393" Windsor, or a 408" 302? That is NOT big block territory, and even though it's small block inches, when doing this kinda stuff ya need to think of the Cleveland as a "big block".

IMHO there has never been a better suited motorsport for the 393" Windsor, than what you are describing.

We're building a "junkyard" 393, that sounds right up your alley. I'll let you in on it via PM if you're interested.
