351 heads

[whiteyford0212]

hey guys, i had question and wondering if you ppl knew anythig about it...i know a guy who will sell me 351 heads in real good shape, new valves etc..i was wondering how well these works on a 302 block...i would do 351 heads, gt-40 intake, stock cam, 1.7 rockers..sound ok for a combo??

Do you know the cc of the inake and exaust?

 

[whiteyford0212]

No i dont yet..i looked into it a lil bit..they say the windsors are the way to go..the cleveland ones are a lil much and arent directly a bolt-on

if they happen to be the windsors are they worth it?

What all is done to your car?

Better yet , do you drive her every day or is it a project car. What are your futer plains with the beast?

They can be worth it but so can the GT40 iron heads and even some of the older windsor jr heads. I would hold off and buy a set of performance heads, as the 351 heads would be more expensive to get the flow numbers as the other heads listed above.....

The cleveland ones will also spank the windsor ones up one side and down the other when it comes to flow.
But, if you don't go big everywhere else too, they won't do much for you.

Get the gears first. I run D00E heads on my 351w. Unless they have hardened seats already, and unless the pressed in studs are converted to screw in, you'd be better of with some GT40 irons. But you'll appreciate some 3.73:1 gears better, believe me.
