Hope this works I have had a tough time with photobucket account so thought I would try to upload a quick video for test. If goes well I may try to make a slide show of both cars. Thanks guys. Comments and "constructive" critisism welcome.

Thanks all still a work in progress. Had it running good without ac on v belts put about 3500 miles on it like that with stock hood and elderbrock just loved to smoke the tires but didn't like the kickdown punch so changed to quick fuel carb and serpentine pulleys that was when I decided to go back to ac. Still have to install dryer and condenser and now thanks to tensioner I may have to mod the hood hopefully make it look like a 83??? So far the bumper hasn't melted or even blacked as much as the stock white car.

 

Oh I will have to try to find the info on the cam it's been built about 6 years now but I should have it somewhere. Running a performer rpm intake on cAst heads. Need to go aluminum for weight but been spending too much on the white one.

I started with a used 5.0 and spun a rod bearing. The 351w didn't fit back in place of the 5.0. The deck is lots taller and wider and the brake booster had to be changed out and moved and had to make headers the drivers side is like the old tri-y header but the passenger side is just a log header. I really should rework the passenger side too match but like I mentioned the stock has my attention mostly now. Had to use a front sump oil pan too. At least with the stock 5.0 it would hook and everything looked stock from the outside now it's pretty obvious from the sound and other tales that it's not.

C4 for now but thinking about going aod. Will try to post some more pics and videos of the 2 but as some know I just got married so moving furniture after work takes up quite a bit of time and we are going to pigeon forge this weekend hard to find time when it is still daylight this time of year

True, but the 351 can be stroked out to a 427.

 

Pretty close... a Cleveland perhaps... I have a maxed out 351W bottom end fuel injected in an old stang that if memory serves me worked out to a 419/421. Maybe it could go further, but not mine. :)
