i just had my C3TE 352 heads sent to arnold motors to get new seets put in them, spendy, but they were the only heads i had that were 4v heads and the heads off the 390 were stock 2v the 352 heads have a lot bigger ports in them and match the 4v intake for it, i think after i port the heads they will be fine on my 390.

I have heard that the smaller port heads are better for bottom end i.e. (pickups). Besides the trick factory heads like high riser, medium riser, and tunnel port, I wonder if there is any difference between an FE that came from the factory with a 4 barrel intake and one that came with a 2-barrel intake? I heard that the bigger port heads kinda kill the bottem end?, I would think that that would maybe hold true on a lower compression stock motor, but for something that has been modified a little I would think they would be better.

I obtained a medium rise edelbrock 4barrel intake for an FE motor. For stock heads would this be fine or should I use a factory 4barrel intake. Is there going to be that much difference other than weight?
