Yes, I did know that the Gurney Weslake heads will work on a 351 (9.5 deck height) block. Have seen them on 351C (9.2) blocks too. I don't think I have ever seen the heads fitted to a 351 block.....in a GT40. Would they flow sufficiently today for a '351' 'race' engine, Maybe back in the day...

A Gurney Weslake question..... I have seen that the Wyer Gulf GT40's (and maybe the Mirages?) ran 351 CID with the Gurney Weslake heads. Is this correct, and if so was it the 8.2 (302) block bored and stroked, or were the 9.5 (351W) blocks used? Anyone know? Lastly, Lola T70 Coupes, Mk 3 and...

Rob Kennard also ran a custom (Les Hunter built) 4 barrel intake. Built from sheet metal and exhaust tubing if I remember correctly. Gurney Weslake heads on a 351 block is straight forward, as Kevin has said, just by fabricating a valley cover to suit.

Chinese copies?

The 351C is also quite a heavy block (for its size and capacity) and unless you are down under good useable blocks are getting thin on the ground. But if you put the Cleveland heads on a Windsor block, you get the best of both worlds....excellent breathing heads, on a light block, with a good...

Hi Doug, Just been trawling thru Boss 302 stuff on the site; Did you find/build your Cleavor 302? (Track Boss 302) Have always been fascinated with these; retro with a twist! Rodney

How's the progress with the Autolite Inline Jimmy?

From memory there were a few GW heads around; I remember trying to purchase a set from Rob Kennard...(too young, could'nt raise the funds)....I think that he had 3 or 4 sets, with both the 4v and IDA intakes. KB still had his, much modified with roller rockers etc and Hilborn injection. The mag...

Hi Jac, It was as an 11 year old boy on a school trip to PDL Racing in Ferry Road that the Boss 302 thing was started! I did'nt realise that Falconer and Dunn were engine suppliers, interesting! My IDA's (on a 351C intake) came from PDL orginally, along with a 351C 4 bolt block, camshaft, etc...

Hi John, Based in Auckland......Yep, it's neat to see fellow kiwi builds. Was reading with interest magneto posts from Mr Noble.....I am fascinated by mags too. Cheers, Rodders

Hi Guys, Have checked into the site as a visitor numerous times.....its time to join I figured. My interest is mainly directed to the Gurney Weslake and Weber IDA's....A Boss 302 is my passion. There are a lot of very knowledgable people on board here.....Its a brilliant site! Cheers, Rodders
