Thanks. I haven't had it dynoed yet, but I've been reading a mild build Cleveland is 350-400hp, depending on the heads, cam, and intake. But, I just bought me a '92 Lincoln Mark VII LSC (http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3053175), so I haven't been driving the Montego lately. But yes, it is smooth, the torque is outstanding, even with 28" tall tires, a locker, and a 3.22 out back, it still punishes the rear tires at will. It would be incredible with a 4.11 out back, but traction is already an issue. Also, gas is a...well...10-15mpg on 93 octane sucks...but account that to my right foot.

that is incredible. how much horsepower? is it smooth throughout the torc curve? I am currently trying to build a efi 351c for my bronco...

Yes, I figured I'd think outside the box. I'd like to see Trick Flow make the Clevland lower, but it'd probabley be a while.
