Response to clevor anyone?

[linked image]

I've put together quite a few Clevors, and am screwing 3 more together at the moment, though slowly. That's not counting re-doing my Boss 302 again. I love my 351C, but feel the Clevors are preferable in some cases. You can use parts to make one get max power at 7,000 alright, but you can also select stuff to make them as smooth and silky as a Russian Blue...although one much stronger than the average kitty-cat. My last little Clevor (.020 over 302 w/ 2V heads) was done at 6,100, while the bigger one in the garage now (.020 over 351 w/ big flow number heads) should make useful power up to at least 7,200, with a projected shift point of 7,600.
Tim Meyer is making it easier for Cleveland, small Boss and Clevor nuts with his piston sources. I just got some from him for my Boss a short time ago, and although I don't know anything about the actual manufacturer, the pistons are really nice looking parts. Thanks to Tim for making these things available for a reasonable price so we don't have to make do with modified Yates/NASCAR cast-offs, 30+ year old factory parts or expensive customs. He didn't balk at the sorta odd-ball combo of features I asked for, and the maker did a pretty good job of living up to them.
