Ive got a Xb gs farimont .I had the engine rebuilt 12mths ago ,sorry its a 351 clevland. i wanted Heaps of touque but it had to run on lpg only . so he gave me a list of extras ,EG. 4 2 1 extractors edelbrock dual plain manifold lumpy gas cam holly 750 vucume secondary carbs impco duel fuel gas system he built the engine for tourque.. but i have to say it seems to lack power , it doesnt realy go unless its above 3500 rpm .last dyno it had about 114hp is this right for a 351 clevland.how can i get this engine to boogie .
if i fit gas reasearch carbs will that fix the problem ??? thanks for any help you can give me .. David

It's not right most are doing atleast 160 rear wheel horse power. A mates clapped out million k old 302 did 90rwkw (120rwhp). The engine was barely running. It was replaced with a 400-450hp 351 3 months later. XB Fairmont sedan : [email protected] |

Also make sure it hasn't chewed the cam up. It seems quite common with clevelands. XB Fairmont sedan : [email protected] |

If your out my way? Dandenong area? I'd recommend Hallam Performance (9703-3030) speak with Andrew or Mark. They do all my tuning and some of the mechanical work on my car.
I took another of my XB's (now deceased) in there with a 180rwkw tune that pin |
