I know a lot of people do the gt40 (assuming 351w) head swap onto their 5.0's, and I've found myself curious if the 351c heads are totally different, or if not, are they a better swap? Pardon my ignorance in advance. kay2:
I knew exacly what you were taking about.. good way of explaining it thoMaybe that wasn't clear enough... Sorry about that.
Cleveland 4v are 2 valve OHV heads which have huge ports so their streetability is questionable. The 2v heads are also a 2 valve OHV type but have more reasonable port sizes. The number of carburetor barrels (or venturi) was indicative of which you had so a Cleveland with the 4bbl carb got the larger ports.
The Explorer is a 5.0
Are you wanting to swap them to a 351w..
They are 5.0 heads. . On cobra and explorers and mountaineer i believe.. the only 351 that I'm aware that came with gt40s was the lightning. . But it used 1/2" bolt holes..
Better than the GT, near as makes no difference flow the same as a Cobra intake though.Is it also true that the exploder IM's are better than gt and/or cobra IM's?
