351w question

ok, so i have a 1973 mustang grande with a 351c and i already have my 351w to drop in, but the problem is everyone tells me no one makes headers for a 351w. i wanna know if this is true, or if i should maybe stick with my cleveland. any help is great, thanks.

Re: 351w question

that could make sense since its a more comon engine. would it be possible to put your cleveland heads on the windsor block? i know my uncle did it... but that was on a late model race car.

Ok, this is one of those pieces of info you seem to retain but cant remamber why or where you got the information.

I seem to recall that of the cylender heads that were offered stock for the cleveland the 2V offered better performance than the 4V. I can only guess that it has to do with intake velocity, but again I dont even know where I learned this. Ive never worked on a ford other than a 302 so I cant offer first hand advice. If you can use the heads try to verify the whole 2V vs 4V issue.
