bear351c 10,402 Posted April 1, 2022 Hard to believe that there's so much interest in Clevo's in the good ole US of A, that Tim Meyer and such will go to the lengths of making new ones...!!!! At the same time, deleting some of the inherent issues from the 1960-70's model. Bravo fellas. If I was in the 'States, I know what I'd be saving for right now. 6 CHESTNUTXE, burnnotice1000, 2redrovers and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would still buy their gear over the "Aussie" (cast in China) Arrow blocks. I do have to wonder though, why anyone would go to the trouble of making a new Clevo block when there are established Dart and World Products (the latter also cast in China) Windsor blocks that have years of proven service, are available in 8.2, 9.2 and 9.5 decks and can go out to 4.155". All you need to do is bolt on a set of Clevo heads and you have the same horsepower potential. Then there's the factory 351M/400 block, which is finally getting the recognition it always deserved and can still be found in junkyards in the US.Sent from my CPH2197 using Tapatalk 2 CHESTNUTXE and burnnotice1000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHESTNUTXE 7,641 Posted April 3, 2022 im not sure what section to put this in but yesterday i scored a 460 ,its in pieces but heads block manifold is matching,and comes with some other stuff,not sure the vintage but looks like a typical 70s 460 with cast 4 barrel iron manifold,i got it cheap so when it turns up on thursday i will have gerg all over it with working out the codes,this has been my unicorn engine,i have never owned one,will be interesting. 2 2 gregaust, Outback Jack, deankxf and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The heads aren't much bigger than a 2V Clevo. Very frickin heavy too.

Sent from my CPH2197 using TapatalkSo do I put it in cleveland or Windsor section I think it has bits of both engines in its DNA ?Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,875 Posted April 3, 2022 I'd class them not necessarily as Clevo family, but as cousins. Developed at the same time, has the same canted valve setup, same 1.73 rockers, dizzy, engine mounts, and very similar overall look. I think there's 50kg difference in assembled weight, but you can get that down drastically with ally heads and intake.Sent from my CPH2197 using Tapatalk 2 Outback Jack and burnnotice1000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,875 Posted April 3, 2022 Here's a weight chart showing 351C, 427 FE and 429 "Lima", in all iron (first column) and ally head and intake (second column). I initially thought the 429 was heavier than that, by 80kg over the Clevo, but it's only 50, so there you go.

CHESTNUTXE 7,641 Posted April 4, 2022 just remember the 429 came out before the 460 only a few years ,then it was binned and 460 was then only available,finding a 429 these days is getting hard but not impossible,most came out of f series trucks here witha few galaxies as well ect,also gerg what do you mean the engine mounts are the same as cleveland ? or do you mean clevo is the same as windsor which they are,but 460 are different,very similar to the 400 . 2 gerg and burnnotice1000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
