Def a nice touch there: a period car hi-fi.

Apparently the Type 181 is LHD whereas the Type 182 is RHD...........

Stroke the cleveland using Chevy parts, best of both. :o Ford pistons, Chevy rods and machined crank, will get you a 377 with Std bore or 383 with oversize. That might make for a nice build there. Too; a 400 Cleveland is a 351M (same bore centers/heads as a 351C) with a longer stroke, the bore and ...

brennan67: pretty much any genuine hotrodder respects the Flathead Ford V8.

318 Mopar's a hell of a good motor although it seems the newer Ford 302's are quite decent along with the Chevy 350's with TBI...........

What's weird is our USA market Nissan Pathfinder (same platform as the Frontier/Navara) does have a V8 option, it's the 5.6L motor from the 2004+ Nissan Titan.

How much difference in cost would there be between re-building a 350 Chevy small block, 351 Ford Windsor and 351 Cleveland engine ? And in the case of stroking those engines. For instance to 408 ci ? Pieter. Let me chime in here. In the USA or Canada; doing up a SB Chevy is the cheapest route, in R...

Nothing wrong with pushrod technology or; for that matter, 2 valve heads. If anything; I don't think overhead cams have a place on any V series engine, inline fours/sixes, I'm the opposite.
