if you want performance id say go with a aluminum set of trick flow heads. by time you search for the rare 351W 4V heads you can buy a set that will outperform them. or you could always find you a set of 351C heads to slap on it.

it could have a 4 barrel on it but it doesn't mean its the 4 barrel heads. All of the 4 barrel heads have the number 4 stamped on them. should be stamped right on the end of the head and can see it perfect with the motor in the car just looking at the engine.

yeah i like the aluminum heads i put a set of edelbrock performer heads on the motor last year and over heated them this year brought to a machine shop and was told that they are twisted bolth heads wich souns a little funny but the truck runs hot with the plow and i dont really want to spend the money on them to put on a plow truck although my mud truck has a set of trick flow twisted wedge heads wright now and i love them to death i was really just looking out of curiosty to see if i could get a power boost with cast heads i will probably just put stock heads on it and call it a day if i cant find the cast heads you said a 351c will fit the 351w is that a bolt wright in or does it needto have some mods done

no its not a bolt right up you will have to change the intake i know but im not sure what else. I do know you can put 351C heads on a 302 but you have to get a special intake. Not certain on what else would need changed.

honestly no idea. i have a 351C but i have never tried to match up the heads on anything else. I have a 1971 351C 4V 4 bolt main. I also have a 1969 351W but its 2V heads although i have a 4 barrel intake on it.

The blind, leading the blind here First off, you don't want a set of 351C 4 BARREL heads ( not 4 VALVE, there are no such animals) Although they will bolt onto a Windsor block, it's not a bolt on swap. You have to plug the coolant passage in the bottom of the head where it passes back to the block on a Cleveland, then open up a passage on the intake side, then you'll have to find and modify a Windsor deck intake to fit Cleveland heads on a 9.5 deck block. This isn't an easy swap and with the choice of aftermarket heads out there now, you'll spnd more on the swap than you'd spend for a set of good aftermarket ones.---------------------------------------------------The 351W heads to look for are the 69-76 heads, these had the larger 1.84/1.54 valves. The 69 castings had slightly smaller chambers than the others.
