351C 2V dyno results
OK, I know some of you might be interested in this....
Finally dynoed my CAR (sorry, don't own a truck) equipped with 351C with completely stock 2V open chamber heads, new cam and bolt on bits like distributor(ford electronic), coil (GT40), headers & dual 2.5" exhaust, intake (torker)and carbie (740 vac sec holley), running on 98 octane fuel so the advance could be set way forward. We worked out that it was making about 300-320 hp at the flywheel, and remember, the heads are COMPLETELY stock, ie still got the thermactor bumps, 2V valves and stuff (these heads are late 70's, off an Aussie 351 falcon).
I still have the stock torque convertor in my C4 transmission, but it still shows good low-end torque, toasting pretty much anything off the line despite the torker intake which made a noticable increase to mid-high end power. This motor would probably suit a truck much better than a 4V headed engine.
Just goes to show that even with stock 2V heads these motors haul. I am planning to have the heads fully worked with 4V valves, 3 angle valve job etc as well as an MSD 6A booster unit in the hope of getting up over 400hp, will keep you informed of progress.

seems like those #'s would be higher, unless cam & compression are stock. that's more like what i would expect rear wheel power to be... at what rpm's were your max torque and max HP?
