Power advantage between Ford 351, Mopar 340 and Chevy 350??

Bakerlite,
You say it is all in the history books. Try reading one sometime.....
Fords had factory backing & factory teams, separate factories where the race cars were prepped. Ferd brought Al Turner from the US to head up the race teams.
Chr did NOT have factory race teams & provided little support, their drivers were privateers.
In NZ, where it was a more level playing field, the Chargers dominated.


The 351s were a failure at Bathurst in stock form. GM & CHr were not.
The massive main brgs caused engine blow ups. Not until many oiling modifications were done, could a 351 C finish a race, let alone win one.......
The most well known Ford racer in this country was a Canadian who settled here, Allan Moffat. Of the 351c, he said: they blow up on the starter motor...
The 351 4V was a failure; it was a failure as a race engine & a failure as a street engine.
Apart from the race failures in road racing, Ford stupidly put a severe flow restricting bump in the exh port. Drag racers of the day such as Bob Glidden used to slice a 1" thick section off the exh side of the head & replace it with a 1" alum slab that re-directed the exh upwards for more flow.
Trans am racers filled the int port floors with Devcon because the huge ports were sluggish. The GTHO phase 3 here was beaten over the 1/4 mile by the Charger with the 265 with triple Webers.
