80's 351W H.O. Information
I have a 89 351w and a 351 HO. i am rebuilding the 351w and was wondering if I would benefit from swapping the heads out. put the HO heads on the 89 351W. I'm keeping the 89 because of the EFI. How would i find out the specs between the 2 heads(cc, valve dia, flows, etc?)

4v heads means they are heads designed for a 4 venturi carb.
I have an HO in my 88 f250. I dont know exactly what the difference is either.
Oh another comment, 351w and 351w ho will bolt to same tranny. 351c/m and 400m bolt to same tranny. 429 and 460 bolt to the same tranny. None of them mix. windors are winsors, clevelands are clevelands, and the big blocks are big blocks.

The 351M/400M has the same bellhousing as the big block.

all other 351M's and 400's use the 370-429-460 bellhousing.
As for the 351 H.O.
They are basicly the same motor as the older 2v motors, only with a larger cam, a cast iron 4v intake, and a 4160 holley carb.

You will need to use the proper flexplate and torque convertor for the 460.

Edelbrock performer manifold
Edelbrock 750cfm carb

Headman shorty headers
K&N filter
8.8 wires
stock dist.
Keith black pistons
serpintine belts(had to use elec. fuel pump, new timing cover had no provision for stock
