I had a 302 XD, factory ordered it, it didn't go that hard and from memory, think it redlined at 4750 rpm whereas, the 351 is over 5000 and revs harder.
Best place to start would be to make it breathe better ie exhaust & intake, all depends of course with how much you're gonna spend. |

The Clevo will be much easier to get grunt from so why stray from what was intended to be their in the first place. They were in a pretty lazy state of tune standard but not too hard to get them really honking
Yes the 302 in the XDs were a Cleveland as well. |
