Sorry guys I threw a question out prior to doing my own research. I found out that it is not an exact swap and you need a different intake to match up. So I don't believe that I will use 351C heads.

Thanks and sorry for the question,

If Ford put Cleveland heads on a windsor block and called it a 302 BOSS, has it grown since 1970?

OK so is it worth doing? From what I read the perfered street heads would be the 2v heads. I would need the proper intake, is there any other modifications to the heads or anything that I would need to do or do they just bolt on?

The water jacket holes need to be drilled so they match, and the pistons are different.. Do a google search on CLEVOR and you should be able to find the info you need.

FYI a BOSS351 was a Cleveland engine with 4V heads and an adjustable valvetrain, its the only Cleveland head other than the BOSS302 to get adjustable rockers.

Also did you know: The 4V Clevelands and the 2V Clevelands used the same cam profile 71-73...

Check out http://www.chiheads.com. They have some pretty impressive 351 Clevor combs. Also, they have a clevor intake to match. I would really love to build a stroked clevor for one of my Mustangs.
