351C heads yay or nay?
Does any one know if the 351C heads will fit on a stock 93 mustang 5.0?
If so what would the benifits be ,and mods that would need to be made? thanks P.S this web sight kicks ass! |
Re: 351C heads yay or nay?
Yes they will, but any after market head will out do them. Save a few pennys and go with aluminum. You will most likly have to use a stud mounted rocker with those heads and by the time you spend that money..... aluminum .......hey did I mention aluminum...

You're talking "C" heads on a Windsor style engine, right??
You also need a unique intake manifold that is made for this conversion. You need to drill some passages also. Don't exactly remember which and where or the details. But, it is out there and available to tell you what/where/how to do it. Why go with "C" style heads?? Just get a good set of aluminum aftermarket heads and bolt them on. There are many makes and price ranges. With out the difficulty of mix and matching parts. And also the expense of the "special" intake. Unless you want a Boss 302 style engine. Then go at it....as they say, "Get-er Done". |

These guys are dead on here, If you had the money to make the 351c heads work, the aluminum would work better.

Yes, with some modification the heads will fit.
Cleveland heads are definitely a cool factor mod for me, but everybody that has posted aftermarket aluminum heads will outperform the Clevelands. We're talking about 30 years of engine technology difference. |

You're talking about what they call a "Clevor". Here's some good reading:
http://www.mustangandfords.com/techarticles/30220/ But like everyone else has said, Canfield/AFR/Trick Flow will way out perform them. This whole Clevor concept started back before the aftermarket was so expanse. Basically a cheap upgrade with parts you can find in a junkyard (back then). Neato nifty stuff, but the money can be spent elsewhere more wisely now-a-days. We're attempting to build a 393 with the same junkyard mentality, just to see if we can do it. Believe it or not, the only thing we're gonna have to "buy" aftermarket is the crank! ;) |
