Funny I’ve never heard of the golden triangle. A buddy and I are doing the exact same thing to a 351 scored from the scrapper. It ain’t cheap but it’s good
With regards to the oil galleys, another oiling trick is to drill a small hole in one of the plugs right behind the timing chain/gear to help extend its life. There’s my 2 cents.😉 ✌️
I bought ARP head bolts because it was less than the torque to yield head bolts that are from Ford and can use it more than once. One of my head bolts broke
If a guy doesn't restrain himself during a rebuild the cost can sure spiral out of control. When I'm shopping online I leave the items in the cart a few days and then debate with myself if I really have to have it before I check out. If you change the rod bolts then you are going to need to resize the rod. If it was a stock 351 Cleveland I would change the rod nuts cause they were a known weakness otherwise stock is usually fine. Thank you for the video, I appreciate you.
Does anybody in comments know a good place to order a crate small block? I have a 65 mustang I’m restoring and going to swap out the motor when I’m done with the chassis. I’m not looking for any crazy horse power, but at least a respectable amount (250? 300?). Also fuel efficiency is a concern for me as well. It currently has a 302 in it. Thanks in advance for any input 🫡
I’m not in agreement regarding the conversation about the head bolts. I think the door is left open for people to go to some big box store and grab what looks like a head bolt. The metallurgy of some of the junk metal that comes from only God knows could cause a person to be looking at a considerable number of $$$$$. When there head gaskets blow out, because of using some bad metal alloy. Spend the difference and get some good American steel in some really good head bolts. All the money that will be spent on an engine build comes at a great cost. And for what, a few dollars more for a product that’s made of “ the right stuff”.
Cam is a great presenter, really good explanations and details.
Love Cam and what he brings to ARM!
Thanks! Couldn't do .02c but I tried!
So glad to see the subscriber numbers are still climbing
I think the editor is great they should really keep it up hell yeah editor!!!!!!
Good video lads! Keeping me entertained and informed during the night shifts!
Woooo hooo!..I was view #351.
Following along as I am about to dive into a 351W rebuild with the same goals. Get it running, well.... for cheap.
Excellent choice Chad. The way to go IMO.
I thought you weren't suppose to use a dingle ball hone?

Picture? Not understanding and I'm redoing a 289.
@@Meche697 give me a minute I’ll find the time stamp in the video.
@@Meche697 @15:32 he drills it and pulls the plug out. It needs to be a really small hole so it doesn’t compromise oil pressure to the cam and mains.
Praise Jesus, cam had on some glasses for the die grinding.
Any mods for lowering temperature on these engines ?
Piston slap 😮

The 289 I gave you is .040 over, so you have a fallback option.

Blueprint engines is one.
Go with a 351W roller block stroker budget build. You will love it.
Especially if you're like me.... I'm spending extra cause finding a project would be a problem
Turmeric for elbow bursitis
No need to beef it up, stock is fine....😅
Would you consider doing this same video on Ford 5.4 3v?

That block next to Cam looks like a toy, lol

Why spend all this effort on a engine already 60 over.
400.00 in parts, 20-30k miles it’s a no brainer. It’s still good so what, throw it away just because it’s on its last round??
Pull apart engine 400 bucks lol
