How can I make my 351W faster?
The key to making more horsepower in the 351 Windsor, or any engine, is to move more gas/air mixture through the engine. That means improving the flow in the heads. You can use a myriad of performance tricks to achieve higher head-flow. The first one is making sure air isn’t being restricted as it enters the engine.
Are 302 and 351W intakes the same?
On a 302 (or smaller c.i.d.) blocks, the distributor mount is almost flush with the top of the block (where the intake sits). A 351W block is taller. So, the distributor mount is below the block surface where the intake sits. There is also more space between the water passages and the cylinder heads.
Will 302 heads work on a 351W?
For the most part 302 heads and 351W heads are the same. Different years can have different combustion chamber sizes but ffor the most part there will be no performance increases by going with 302 heads. Plus you will need to drill all the head bolt holes out as the 351W uses larger head bolts.
What’s better GT40 or GT40P heads?
The GT40P does have a slight edge over the GT40 cylinder head because of its smaller chamber volume. The smaller combustion chamber can net a bit more compression, but only marginally. Flow data shows them to flow within a few CFM (cubic feet per minute, more CFM is better) of each other.
Are gt40p heads worth it?
Yes they are worth it. Be careful with cheap aluminum heads. You probably still have the E7 heads on the engine and they are about the same as the GT40 heads with slightly larger valves and the combustion chambers are about the same size at 64cc also.
Will gt40p heads fit 302?
Registered. nolan_speed said: Actually the regular gt40’s in either aluminum or iron are the good ones but the gt40p’s are only a slight improvement over regular 302 heads.
