Default Re: Which 351C

I am not sure if this will make you feel better about the 351 C, but it is a large block engine whereas the 351 W was a small block. The 2 bbl heads flow better than the 4 bbl heads, especially with the Edelbrock 4 bbl manifold and 4 bbl carb. Basis for this statement: we restored a 1970 Cougar XR-7 for my wife (it was what she drove through college) that she just loves and it came with the 351C 2 bbl and we did the Edelbrock 4 bbl manifold. The only reason I would change it is if you want to show it for points....and that might not be a good rason as the aircleaner covers just about all of it.
