351W lower head bolt coolant leak

[Timmy390]

Timmy,

More details on the difference in power.
Is it mostly top end?
Any difference in bottom end torque where most of us live?

So glad you got to take a drive and notice some of your improvements. You deserve some good luck man.

Haven't hammered it yet so not sure about the top end but low end it's nice. I picked the cam because of the low end. DTD (I think the graphs are on the cam thread) show all the torque in the 1500-4K range which is where I plan to live. After all I do have just a 3 speed.....It winds up quick and easy.

Drove it 10 miles round trip to get gas (several stop lights). Cruising at 60mph breathing on the throttle. Ease into it and you hit 75 quickly. Seat of the paints test feels GOOOOD.

I let it cool down after the drive and found no leaks.....Fingers crossed.

Going to baby it for a bit and really just shake it down for a while watching temps and oil pressure, checking for leaks. I've had such bad luck with this build.....
