Re: 351W head swap
Make sure your valves are 1.85/1.55. I think some later 351W heads had smaller valves. My 351W heads were angle milled to give a 59.5 cc chamber. I believe it took .050" to get that. With TRW forged flat tops with a .005 deck height, I think I had around 9.5/1 CR. A pocket port and gasket match job will help also and doesn't cost a whole lot.
I really didn't get as much as expected when I spent $2000 for TFTW pocket ported heads and 1.7 RR's. Often I reflect and wonder why I didn't spend that $$ towards a Paxton. Water under the bridge? The jist is that my 351W heads did very well for the money spent. P.S. If anyone is interested in buying these 351W heads, PM me. Rev
