What is the difference between a 2V and 4V head?
What is the difference between a 2V and 4V head?
What is the biggest difference between the 2V and 4V heads? A: Starting with the basics, 2V heads are designed for use with a factory 2-barrel carburetor option (2V = 2 venturi), while 4V heads came on one of the five Ford 351C engine configurations that came with a 4-barrel carburetor (4V = 4 venturi).
Is the performer 351W intake manifold compatible with the Boss 351?
Edelbrock Part # 2181 Performer 351W intake manifold is designed for street 351 c.i.d. Ford Windsor V8’s. Will not fit Boss 351. Aftermarket 4-bbl carbs are not compatible with Ford Auto Overdrive Transmission (AOD) unless used with Lokar bracket SRK-4000.
What kind of manifold does a Ford 351C use?
As we mentioned, replace the stock retarded timing chain, and while you are at it put in a mild cam. Any Cleveland cam will work. Step up to a 750cfm four barrel carb and a Edelbrock Performer intake, or by using the intake adapter plates shown above, you can fit any 2V Cleveland manifold on there.
What’s the difference between A 351W and 351M engine?
Bellhousing pattern same as 429/460 (to allow use of already existing heavy-duty transmissions. Main journal diameter increased by 0.25″ to 3.00″ for greater bearing surface area (incidentally, same as a 351W) Crank stroke increased from 3.50″ to 4.00″ to gain 50 cid.
Are there exhaust ports on a 351M engine?
Similar plates are available for the exhaust ports on the 4V heads. For a 351M or 400 motor, the 4V heads offer a double edged sword. If they are closed chamber, they can raise compression significantly, however this comes at the expense of large ports and poor atomization and velocity.

What’s the compression ratio on a 351C 2V?
The “Aussie” 351C-2V heads are highly sought after due to their closed chamber design, and resulting 60-62cc chambers. On a late 70’s 400 motor these heads will increase compression ratio from 8.4:1 to a thumping 10.5:1. The challenge is finding a set!
