351C Intake Manifolds

[HOT_ROD_CAR]

It appears I have deleted the pics I had. I'll have to dig them out and take more if your seriously interested. Where are you located?

Illinois.

Illinois.

That's kind of ironic. The Lot of stuff I bought, that the Cleveland was a part of, was in Ohio. I'll get some pics.

I know for a fact the 4V intake fits and works fine on 2V heads. I have an old Hot Rod magazine article where they have done this. It's at my other house, but I can get it and scan it sometime.

That said, if I didn't already have the 4V manifold I would buy the 2V one because it would make me feel better.

It will not cause any problem you'll see on the street. It will run a little better than 2V motor with a 2V carb but not as well as a 4V motor with a 4V carb. A lot of 2V motors had 4V intakes put on them way back when.

I have a 4V 4-Bolt Block, Crank, Rods, and Heads I don't need if you'd be interested.

Friend of mine ran a built 4v iron head cleveland in my fastback before I bought it from him. That sucker was strong to now. I just found him his intake he wanted. A discontinued Holly street dominator 4v intake. They stopped making them in the 80's

A tunnel ram solves all problems.

I installed an Offenhauser intake with 4V carb square bore made for the 2V heads, and it does run better than the 4V intake did. It has a more linear acceleration and overall smoother power curve. The 4V intake will run on the 2V heads, but this Offy seems to run better, at least on my stock setup.

I installed the 4V Edlebrock intake on another 351C that has a set of rebuilt 4V closed chamber heads! What a power house! Whoever said that the 4V heads don't work on the street? I am very happy with those CC heads, and I'm running pump gas with no pre-ignition problems, MSD 6AL, SS valves, new springs with dampners, 650 Holley carb, and believe it or not, it still has the 2V cam (soon to be upgraded), but i just wanted to see how much of a difference the 4V CC heads would make by themselves. Huge difference! It seems to like higher rpm or there is more of a punch from throttle movement above 2000 rpm. It still has balls below 2000 rpm, but there is more brute force above 2000 rpm. I still like the 4V CC heads better than the 2V heads. Cam upgrade is next. I can't wait!

I drove a 4 Barrel Engine, 4 sp, that had an Edelbrock Single Plane Intake, the engine was installed in a 68 Stang Coupe.
With 60 series tires it was hard to take off with out spinning the tire.
All the power I would ever need on the street.
Milage wasn’t good but then the old lead foot was the main problem.

I forgot all about sending you those pics. But we are kind of far away from each other. Glad to hear to you put a 4V together. I have the pics of the block but that is all right now.

I had a early year 71 XR-7 with a 351 4V AT,it was a grandpa car the grandson got and drove for a short while and parked it. I knocked on the door and asked about it and he said he was getting ready to call the junkyard to have it hauled off. I got it for $75,put in a battery,some ATF and some gas and drove it home I think it had around 80,000 miles and was all orig...except for some healthy rust. It only had a 3.00 to 1 rear in it but would fly once it got going,one reason it ran so well was having the small Motorcraft 4V. BTW that was around 1990,I put around 40k mi on it and sold it for $400....it did require premium since the first half of 71 the 351 4V was 10:7 to 1 comp.

I may be interested in it if he's not.
Let me know.

I'm going to pass on it, but thanks for asking.

Ya, I understand about the lead foot!

 

[HOT_ROD_CAR]

Great deal! Then drove it for 40K and sold it for almost 5X what you paid for it!

Yea Hot Rod...that's one car I wish I had back...one time I figured out I ran about $800 worth of gas through it lol One time I ran a 79 Z-28 that had 3.73 gears,he had 4 people in his car,I had 2 in mine,he jumped a car length ahead but didn't get ahead any further than that. It was one of the best cars I ever had,when cold it carried 85 lbs of oil pressure...a little less when I got rid of it. The stock shift point when warmed up was 5500 rpm and you could feel the nose pull a little higher when it got around 4000 rpm. That car would have been truly fast/quick with better gears.

Sounds like a great ride! I'm really enjoying my 351C 4V. They don't build them like that anymore.

One muscle car that not many know about was the Boss 351 Mustangs. My 71 was rated at 270 HP and that was net...so I'd guess it would've been 300+ gross. That motor would be killer in a Ranger with a bigger carb,headers and slightly bigger cam...or a roller cam....now I'm dreaming. I'd guess the mpg's wouldn't be all that great but...it would be quick and fast

There are a couple 351C rangers around. It is a good engine but more work then a 302 is why they are overlooked. IMO

The heads I'm running came from one of those engines, 351C 4V closed chamber! Absolutely awesome!
