1969 Ford Cleveland heads
Aren't the 2 bbl & 4 bbl heads the same? The difference in compression is from the dished verses flat top pistons.
thanks in advance, John |

Re: 1969 Ford Cleveland heads
The 351 Cleveland didn`t come out until 1970. The 351W debuted in 69. As for the Cleveland heads, the 70-73 4 barrels had larger valves and ports than a 2 barrel version. The 70-early71 4v heads also had smaller combustion chambers than the 2 v or late 71-73 4 barrel castings.I heard that there was an oddball "smaller" 4 barrel head towards the end of the 351C`s production run, but I`ve never seen them myself.
As for the 351W heads, I believe the heads are the same for 2 or 4 barrel applications.

The '73 Cleveland 4-bbl heads had the large ports, but the same valve sizes (2.09/1.66) as the 2-bbl heads. All had the large combustion chamber.

Re: 1969 Ford Cleveland heads
HHmmm, lot of years since I even touched one, but;
2bbl 2.05 int 1.65 exh open chamber ALL (70 some cc I think) 4bbl 2.19 int 1.72 exh open chamber police int head 71-74 4bbl 2.19 int 1.72 exh close chamber adj valve train boss 351 1971 only 4bbl 2.19 int 1.72 exh close chamber hyd valvetrain 351 CJ 1971-74 Memory being what it is, I'm thinking the hyd 4bbl CJ head and PI head might be reversed. And yes when your running a stockcar and they have a cyl pressure rule, one open chamber and one closed chamber head will give 155psi(165limit) and the open will give 120....until your caught 5 races later...don't ask LOL! |

Re: 1969 Ford Cleveland heads
Oh yeah, something else, the 2bbl intake can fit a 17 year olds 3 fingers and the 4bbl will fit 4 fingers to the knuckle! (like sewer pipes) LOL!
