No matter the updates on ‘Ford’ engines ‘Mater’ Joe, that you display for us; you usually include ‘food for thought’ also! 😆 😆 😆 😆

‘Mater’ Joe, ( just my ‘personal’ 2 cents worth), stick with the ‘automatic’,and use the 4 speed for ‘display’ memories only! Remember Dover 4 last year; consistency,dependability, and performance from the automatic! Why go ‘back to 4 speed frustration,and breakage you’ve had in the past? 🙁 🙄 . Hey! Garden prep looking :geek: 🙂 good!!! Pete.

Joe, for what it’s worth, I agree with Pete. Be smart, not stubborn! We all know that you can shift the hell out of a 4spd, but the automatic is too consistent not to use.
Just my opinion, Bro. ………………Mikey 😆

……. well the 357″ Cleveland build is in the “GASSER” post so I thought I would start to cover the 347″ , 302 small block here in the “HORSEPOWER” post , ….. block was hot tanked and bored +.030 at J&B Performance by Eric 😀 , then once home in the garage before anything is installed the crank with one set of rods and pistons is installed to check crank rotation to see where rod bolt clearanceing of the lower cyl bores is needed ,then the remaining cyls are done the same way, 😀 .After all grinding is done deburring of the block and main caps is next and then oil resistors are done. Crankshaft has .400″ stroke over stock 302 😀 and uses longer 5.400″ rods 😀
