What stangs came with the 351's

Dude, I'm tired of this. You obviously have very little knowledge of the subject. I just pointed out the differences. Take a look a couple posts up. There ARE differences in the head. There are NO differences in the block, except the Boss 351 was selected from the stock of blocks with the highest nickel content. The 351C 4v's were sometimes 2 bolt, sometimes 4 bolt. The Boss was just almost always 4 bolt, but not always.

Guy, you're getting me and another member mixed up re-read our posts. Your knowledge on the subject doesn't seem to be perfect either BTW.

I stated the blocks are the the same. I didn't realize the boss 302 blocks had 4 bolt mains. That's a new one on me as I've never seen/heard of a classic 4bolt windsor block.

I'm not argueing the point of the internal components. It's a given that they're going to be different. The BOSS 302 was designed for sustained high RPM use. Thus the soild lifters, etc.

I still stick by my statement that the BOSS 302 heads are the same as the early 351C-4V heads. Or "Virtually Identical" as PKRWUD has stated. And thanks, I've done some research on the subject as I was seriously considering using 351C-4V heads on my 351W. (determined it wasn't worth it).

You're right, what I said about the BOSS 351 being a regular 351C-4V was missleading. I was speaking from a strictly heads & block perspective. Of course there's differences in the engine, otherwise ford would have called all 351C-4V's a BOSS 351. You did catch me on the "not all 351C-4V's have 4bolt mains" point tho.

P.S. Do me a favour and don't be so quick to offend when someone else doesn't agree with you.
