My project is on it's way so the details may change, but I am supposed to be getting:
351c, bored 40 over
4v heads
flat top pistons, 40 over
Meuling cam
Roller rockers
Stock 351c 4v's were 300hp, according to some quick research.
My goal is 400hp, from some bolt ons:
Headers
carb and intake
MSD ignition
cam, if the Meuling isn't good enough
I don't want the 400hp to come at the expense of torque. 400hp is a "cool factor" number I chose based on the thought that I should be able to bolt on enough to get up there.
I had it recommended that I swap out to 2v heads. It was said that 4v throughout would sacrifice torque for power at higher rpms.
I'm sure that either way I go it will make for a great cruiser. But I want more torque than top end speed. I will be getting rid of the FMX and getting a T5. I want to be able to downshift and hammer it and worry about spinning the wheels.
Will 4v throughout still accomplish this?
Is it best to swap the 4v heads for 2v like was already recommended to me?
