Thanks, a call to NHRA is in order.

Any update?

[davyjones]

it must have a part number from the orginal equipment manufacturer. Like you see on parts in the ford , chevy , chrystler racing catalogs .

I have never seen a brodix head or a dart block in any comp or modifed car .

I have the part about needing to be a Ford or Ford Racing part confirmed. I am now trying to find any information about the Ford Racing M-6049-V351 head. It shows it is available but gives no information about it. Any insights?

Thanks, Jay

When I asked they said the N351 was legal but there was no V351 in the catalog at that time. What is the V351 head? Is it a cast iron or an aluminum head.

I think the N351 head would be very good for a class requiring cast iron, it doesn't show the flow numbers of some other heads but makes horsepower beyond the flow numbers.

In classes using aluminum heads the Z304 can make some good HP.

The V head if Im not mistaken is AL while the N head is cast iron----Also the V head is made for Ford BY EDELBROCK it is part of their Victor series of heads--- Kinda hush hush on the specs but they do move a lot of air and will really pick up an engine HP wise--For furthur info/ordering/availability etc call RDI@ 888-360-7223----------Comp 387

Yeah, I called Ford "Race Parts" and talked to a real pleasant fellow, not. Anyway, this guy would just about tell me nothing about the V351 heads except that they were of a "proprietery" design. He said they were a 15* valve angle, 47 cc chamber, and the ports are unfinished. He said that a pair done "correctly" would flow as good as Yates heads. As I have worked on some used Nascar Yates heads for some of my customers I asked him for a idea of what kind of flow numbers he was referencing because the Yates heads can flow dramatically different depending on which style you have. He acted like I had insulted him and said that would depend on who ported them. Duh. I asked him if they were like the Edelbrock Victor "Pro Port" heads and all he said was I could get all the parts for the heads from Jesel and thanks for calling. Click. What a jackass. So, I guess at this point if I decide to use aluminum heads I will probably go with the better flowing Yates stuff. The iron N351's are definately a good head for iron though and that may be the smarter combination, and slightly less expensive. I fully understand flow numbers are not the most important quality in a head but it does give a reference to go with. So, what kind of flow numbers has anyone seen from a set of ported N351's? Thanks for the interest.
