Havent been on here in a while, but i just picked up a 351c today... supposably out of a 70 mustang.. is there any way i can verify that? And it had a 2bbl intake on it, so im assuming its a 2v? Also i noticed it has aluminum pistons, is that original?

Had a couple more questions.... IF it is a 2v, will a 4v intake work on it? Will 4v headers or 351w swap headers work on it? Or do i need to find all 2v stuff...?
EDIT: Just found a set of 4v heads on the local craigslist... how will those do on a 2v short block?

Some people have mismatched the original 4V intake to the 2v heads with decent results. You can buy a 4 barrell version intake to match the 2v cylinder head ports. The 4V heads are a very good head. They flow 280 CFM right from Ford. Are they Closed Chamber or Open chamber heads? 64 cc chamber for closed/76 cc chamber for open. It help you get a little compression with factory flat top pistons with the closed chamber heads. Yes 2V and 4v heads work on any 351C short block.
