- 1973 Mustang 351C-4V 4BBL 4 SPEED CONVERTIBLE White
Hi all. I have a head and exhaust question. I have 73 Mustang with numbers matching 351C Engine. I understood/believed I had 2V heads and car was shipped with 2BBL carb. When I bought it, it had 4BBL Edelbrock and Hooker Headers. Last fall I spun a low end bearing. I had engine pro rebuilt by very reputable shop and dyno tested (450hp now). So, before putting engine back in with old rusty exhaust manifolds I thought i would buy new ones. THe Hooker number is clearly stamped on them and when I looked them up it says they are for 4V heads?? Can that be? When I talked with engine rebuilder about options we talked about aftermarket heads but he agreed that keeping original 2V heads was a good thing?? So I look at engine. On Drivers side I find a single 2 in the head casting at the back of motor. On Passengers side, I have found two number "4's". I took pictures of my headers, which are still in car from when we removed motor last fall, and the part number from Hooker Headers is clearly shown.
I am adding pictures to this post as hopefully someone experienced in 351C can clear up my confusion.
