Not sure if any interest in this, but making a video series, on 408 Cleveland I have been racing. Show the teardown, and build of Trackboss 427... Different perspective you don't see much. Let me know if your into it? Subscribe and share please.

Do you race at Norwalk? I remember seeing quite a few Cougars from the mid 80's to early 90's there.
Yes, I do. Only 20 minutes from home. I have been racing there on and off and National trails since 2000...
Great video mate.
Looks like your engine is about 50% Aussie.
Looking forward to some more insight.

Do you happen to know Dan Seamon Sr.? He ran our old Mike Bos chassis craft dragster with a BBF there.
Thanks guys. Yes it is internally balanced, without mallory. The Cleveland can hold its own, no doubt. Now with trackboss, will see their potential. No don't know Dan seamon Dracer X
Hey Tim, I subscribed n look forward to future videos. I still don’t do Face Book but I did order one of Tim Meyer’s larger oil filter adapter’s to use on my current 351C build in-progress. I figured it couldn’t hurt.
OK. Wasn't sure how long the yella terra light weights had been around. Are they not tough enough or need to be replaced more often?
Either way with your rockers lasting 18 years living between 7000-8200 rpm plus street driving and with some heavy spring pressures I think I'll stick with those.

Almost forgot, Ford Performance re-did the C3 head also. Even re-used old part # M-6049-C3 just to keep things simple and easy to identify and prevent confusion. Not available from Ford Performance now but others have them, Roush Yates Parts 704-360-1336. These also have the figure 8 chamber, squared exhaust port and are FORD, I'm not sure if valve angles are Cleveland or Yates. Good price also.
This little video just popped up on my you tube page, shows testing cleveland oiling system. This is the information under the video....
"408 cubic inch Cleveland engine with roller camshaft and oiling system mods. Oiling system consists of a stock Melling oil pump in a Canton pan. The block has been modified with lifter bore bushings in the right side gallery that have a .020 hole to meter the oil to the lifters. The left side gallery has been restricted with a pipe plug that's drilled with a .050 hole. In this video I'm turning the oil pump by hand using a speed handle to show how much oil actually comes through holes like these, the engine has about 75psi oil pressure when the relief valve is activated."

Looks from the Video they moved the Location of the ports to a GM/Mopar drivers bank first instead of the traditional Ford Passenger side first....could be an optical illusion.
I know, and they are 10% off. I am thinking Cook heads. Scott on Holiday, I can wait. Tim Meyer is also going to be aiding support in this venture also, Thanks Tim Meyer. Lets see how it rolls out.....
Not sure about port location change, possible. Thanks Brad, just trying to see if I can get a combo together by spring. Blocks should be finished by end of month. Glad your 440 is making 827 hp, nice deal.
