The Dot on 4v identification for 4v open chamber is not a good rule to go by. There are lots of quench chamber heads with dots, it just means a casting revision for 1971.

To make u even crazier, Ford made some experimental 400 blocks that may have both 335 and 385 series transmission bolt patterns which may or may not be drilled and tapped. To avoid detenation on open chamber heads, use a 1975 Ford Elite Duraspark distributor. It has the high compression advance curve and electronic top with small cap. To use a 2V 400 intake on 4V heads a 1/2" aluminum spacer will raise it to the top of the head port. Also works on 3V CHI heads. You will have to cut the manifold to clear the distributor. Ain't Clevelands fun.

The 400 with the dual bolt patterns were from 1964. Look for an engine block casting starting with "D4." It was a one-year only product. Due to the fact Ford was having problems producing enough auto transmissions with the big 460 bolt patterns. I forget the name of the trannys, but they were cast iron rather than aluminum castings. In my whole life I only saw one of the D4 blocks, it was at a Ford parts show in Indianapolis right around Thanksgiving many, many years ago.

There were actually quite a few successful drag racers over the years that used the Cleveland heads to make the inline 6 cylinder FORD engines. They typically ran in modified production classes. However, has anyone here seen the Ford V-12 engine that uses Cleveland heads ? It’s right here on KZbin. I think The Horsepower Monster and Fuel Junkie Racing have also posted videos on it. It’s a creation done by Jan Baker just up the road from me here in Georgia. It’s a 552 cubic inch V-12 all hand fabricated by Jan. He used two Windsor blocks with the front two cylinders cut off of block number 1 and the rear two cylinders cut off of block number 2. He aligned both blocks and welded them together. It’s a odd fire engine with two distributors operating independently, one for each cylinder bank. Three Cleveland 4- V closed chamber heads were cut into sections and welded together as needed. A billet 120 degree crank with a three and a half inch stroke was custom made by Henry Velasco. Other components include a set of 5.565” long Howards connecting rods, 12 custom 4.090” bore Arias pistons and more. The heads got a mild porting job and use 2.19” intake and 1.76” exhaust valves. Three different steel intake manifolds were fabricated. The first shakedown dyno runs were done in 2015 using TWO RARE FORD- AUTOLITE INLINE FOUR BARREL CARBS. They ran way too rich on 93 octane pump fuel for the 10.5 compression ratio. It made only 604 horsepower and 491 torque with many problems. By end of the first dyno session, they pulled 697 horsepower and 576 torque. In 2017 using three Holley four barrel carbs and a different cam profile they pulled 872 hp @ 7200 rpm’s and 669 lb / ft of torque @ 6000 rpm’s. They ran it on up to 8000 rpm’s and it was still making 811 horsepower 😱. In later dyno testing the little V-12 was making over 1000 horsepower !!! Not too shabby for a home made engine. Mr. Baker plans to install it in his GT-40 Mark 1. That’s about all I can remember. For the full story, just check it out online. I would love to own one of these Ford V-12’s and I think the demand for more would be huge. Smart investors should get behind the man and make a shit load more. Clevelands with eight cylinders RULE. A 12 cylinder Cleveland would dominate world wide. KICKING ASS ON A GLOBAL SCALE 🏁🇺🇸👌 in a unique FORD 🏆

My experience with the Cleveland’s comes from a 351M in a Montego wagon and a 351C 2V in a 71 Cougar. The 351M in the wagon was what it was and the car would have benefited from at least a 400 as it would have moved that big gal around a little more efficiently. The Cougar, despite being a high mileage rust bucket when it bought it, benefited from some low buck tweaks such as dual exhaust and an open element air cleaner using taller filters for the likes of a Chevy 454 truck motor. The prevalent attitude toward 2V and 4V Cleveland’s in the 80s was that the 4V heads were great for racing/high rpm applications, but the 2Vs were better for all around street/daily driving. That’s about where it stopped as Ford had brought back a HO 302 and that seemed to get all the Ford attention in the enthusiast magazines. Of course there was the FE and some 385 coverage, but the 302 was getting all the attention if you weren’t running a Chevy 350. I’d say for a Cleveland performance application now days, the aluminum heads are the best route to go if you have the money. I think there’s more potential in the American 351 2V than anyone cares to admit. While I don’t have any good street racing stories with the ole Cougar, it did impress passengers when I put the gas pedal all the way to the floor, at least when it scratched 2nd with 14 inch 245 width rear tires. And when it accidents revved past 6k, it was still pulling when the stock 2V carb had less air flow restriction from air cleaner.

I bought a set of 302 Aussie Cleveland Heads. They heads were cheap, shipping was not. They were still a lot cheaper than a set of aluminum heads. Planning to send them in for machine work (machine down the pedestals and add screw in studs and guide plates). My understanding is that the only reason the 2V closed chamber heads exist is because they de stroked the 351 to make a 302 cleveland which in turn drastically lowered the compression ratio. To help mitigate this, they created the 2V closed chamber heads for their 302 Cleveland. Thus, my understanding is that the 2V closed chamber heads ONLY came on the 302 clevelands. But the Aussies were quick to swap out their 351 open chamber heads for the 302 closed chamber heads for a bump in compression.

My understanding is that 4 dot heads were a revision of the water passages for the 1970 1/2 model year to make the engine less likely to ping. The revision also lowered compression slightly from 11:1 (4) for 1969 1/2 to 10.7:1 (4 dot) for 1970 1/2. I think the confusion comes from the fact that by 1972 the large port 4 dot heads were made with open chambers to handle the lower octane fuel that was mandated. Here in Oz, we had the 10.7:1 4 dot heads through to 1973, but after that we had the 2 open chamber heads for the 351 and closed chamber small port heads for the 302.

Somewhere on KZbin they did a bench flow head shootout on these Cleveland heads and the 2V heads with a 1970 castings on them are better than 4V open chambered they flow more and on the dino they made more horsepower up to 5000 RPM more than any other head look it up.. I took the set that I have and had the heads shaved 10,000 at a machine shop to raise the compression and OMG hold on tight. I'm afraid to race a 351 boss cuz I'm worried I'll beat him and I don't want to insult those heads that he's running but I think these 2v will out run it in a quarter mile

I purchased many years back a pair of 2v closed chamber heads from a machine shop that were reworked for a fella that never returned to get them. The machine shop had them for over 10 years. I used the machine shop for many years because they were the best in the area till the man died and left it to his sons then screw up city after. The day i got those 2v cleveland heads i had took in a set of 351 m truck heads and block for machining boring etc. That i was building for a 79 bronco that had been in my family since new. He found one of my m heads was cracked and then that's when he told me that he had the cleveland heads that he had for years and i said how much and he said get them outta my way then i ask if he had a 4bbl cleveland intake and he said i have tons of cleveland and m stuff just and took me out to a semi trailer out back and unlocked it and it was slap full of ford stuff even several mel engines 462 lincoln and smaller 429 stuff anything just a ford lovers dream. Got my engine built with flat tops and a what was called rv cam for better torque, hedman hedders and back in the bronco with a new holley 4bbl basically stock. Taking that m block smogger 2bbl open chamber slouch to a tire roasting sob and i drove it another 20 years. Believe it or not the bronco maybe got 8 mpg well after it got 12 to 15 with it's c6 limited slip stock 350 gears. I bought the 462"s with their transmissions after he died and wished i could have bought the whole damn trailer. I freshened up one of the 462's and put it in a 66 short bed f-100 it was a screamer.. Parts for mel's are now very expensive 350 to 400 bucks for a water pump for say.

Enjoyed the Enthusiasm but I didn’t enjoy the miss information might want to rehash this video….. The 74 4v big port heads with the open chambers and 2v small valves are very much not junk!! they actually flow the most air of all the Cleveland iron heads on a 4” bore you can and will make good power with those just get the comp up with some better pistons and some milling etc etc. (True they are harder to get really high compression with, but they are still a good and capable head not POS you Portray in this video) Actually the worst thing you can do is put 4v 2.19/2.23 in the 2v small port head it ruins the short turn and you go backwards. The 3” mains is not a desirable size in racing at higher rpm it’s known to trap the oil between the bearings and crank for to long heating the oil up hence why the 9.2” deck 351c used 2.75” and nascar ended up going even smaller if I’m not mistaken.

The Aussie 2V closed chamber came about because we made 302 Clevelands here as well, as a smaller displacement V8 option that could use a 6-cylinder drivetrain. The heads, rods and crank were cast here exclusively. The rods are longer at 6.030" and when used with a special piston, you can make a long-rod 351. The Aussie 2V heads aren't anything special flow-wise, being pretty poorly machined and cast in the ports. A light cleanup and rounding in the bowls will give around 200cfm, good for 400hp. There are some really nice CNC-ported ones done by Pavtek that are up around 270, with unshrouded chambers and a nice finish. They claim 505 hp with a set of these, not bad at all.

Totally wrong. You don`t make a V8 to run a 6cyl. The 302 was for ppl who wanted a V8 but not a high-performance race car V8 like a 351 GT-HO Falcon. Now, flow-wise you don`t need to run a 4V to race & 2V set up properly is better than 4V on Aussie racetracks & street/1/4 mile. The Bathurst race teams went from 4V to 2V. Brock got caught using 4V valves when 2V was the rules. I already put up with clowns saying 2V = 2bbl carby only & there are no 2V valves - 4V valves or 2V heads & 4V heads.

Therefore, the early 302s used the same drivetrain as the 250 6-cylinder, eliminating the need for specially imported parts.

Key to running open heads is zero or if your daring positive deck. I mill my heads .030 and get them down to about 66 to 67cc, zero deck, flat top with a single relief and you're in the mid to high 9's in compression.

So, I have a '73 Mach 1 with the 351C 2V engine, and I assume it has dished pistons. I was told when I bought the car the engine had been rebuilt and updated with hardened valve seats. The engine runs good, although it does have a mild, what seems like harmonic vibration up around 2600-2800 RPM. Replacing the harmonic balancer didn't cure it. Anyway it runs good other than that, and I just go to cruise in's with it. However, visions of mods tend to dance in my head. I used to have a '73 Gran Torino with the four bolt main block, and the early close chamber 4V heads. It ran great, had lots of top end power. But these days I'm reading that the smaller 2V heads are better for the street, and a couple of manufacturers offer 4V intakes that will fit the 2V heads. So I'm trying to decide my next step...

Actually Jesse is correct. The outside of a larger circle (bike wheel) will travel faster at the same RPM than the smaller circle does (bike hub). i.e. it'll travel farther in the same amount of time. For instance bigger tires will make your speedometer register slow. That was one of the issues with the 351W because it had such a huge main bearing whereas the Cleveland had a much smaller main bearing and was less likely to spin the bearing. My two cents. Either way clean oil should make it live for whatever you're doing.

That is what you read but have no hands on experience with. It is known when Ford motorsport came out with the Nascar block, Windsor deck height but with Cleveland main bearing size. The Cleveland gets its main bearing size from the FE. A fully groved bearing works good in a Cleveland block. I have built super stock racing engines both Cleveland blocks and Windsor and motorsport blocks. Comparable track rules, engines all ran nearly same times in the same car. This was done at the short track at Monroe Washington. At a long track maybe there would be an advantage. But having bigger mains never that fact showing a difference. One thing I did find changing from a Cleveland rod to a Windsor rod length picked up some torque and speed when coming out of a corner.

'73 Mustang 351C-2V & C6 here. Do the aussie heads have the "2" cast into the corner as well?

Can't you buy an aluminum 351 boss head?

Those 2v open chamber heads do not suck and I have a quarter-mile time to prove it fact they ran better than 4V close chambered same cam same car. The 2V heads are 1970 castings slightly smaller Quench then other year's

From my experience& been ford man my whole life the open chamber has the dot on one side of the # & cloeed chamber if has # will have dot on opposite side of the closed chamber heads. I have a 351-C 4 bolt main with open chamber 1.71/2.19 valves had it 30+years building it now got a fortune in it already but near done & gonna be a monster

Question??? I have 73 Gran Torino with the 351c 2v heads will i need to do any block modifications to put 4v heads on that engine.

Nope you will have to have exhaust manifolds or headers and a 4V intake manifold to work with them.

If you are putting together a strong street motor 4-500hp, it is best to stick with your 2V heads. Look at your valve sizes, back in the day the Chevy boys were putting the same size to make their double hump heads hotter. Do a little porting to match your intake runners. Also, you will want to do some machine work to the block to help oiling. I bought a Ford Engines book that had specifics about the builds for CanAm & Pantera engines and followed when I built mine. I could save you a lot of time and just sell you mine. 🤑 Too many projects, not enuff time.
