[N.O.S is for wimps]

ok i know the difference between 2v and 4v heads for the cleveland,but whats a 3v intake? will it work with my 4v heads? i want to find a funnel web style intake and ditch the torqer thats on my 399 ci stroker anyone heard of the mustang depot?they have a listing for a 3v intake

The "3V" BS is just an aussie remarketing/renaming thing, its basically a small ci restrictor port Copy of the old USA ROUSH/SVO 9424 port design, the aussies are just pushing/pumping it as "3V" vs A3/B3/C3. heard the sm/pc "3V" version intake ports can at least be hogged out/opened up to the old 4V TransAm Boss / D3 port, at least the sm/ps ones are not over priced...

btw, Torkers are also a very good intakes for 400+ci...

ya thats what im after, the one they call 3v from the mustang depot is the same style, so it will work then?

Yup, it will work on 4V heads, again its basicly a port copy of the small 310ci Ford SVO restrictor ports which goes further back to the org svo transam/nascar port and to the even older Ford raised floor TA boss port. If you got 400+ci imo you want to open up runners/openings to 1-11/16" wide x 2-1/4" tall Boss/TransAm port openings so it don't choke off top end performance which it will with 351+ci. you can also use the price motorsports TA head inserts with it if you want which are about 3/8" thick to start with before grinding/contouring.

again, the SM/PC version FW intake is cast thicker so its ports could be opened up to a 1-11/16"W by 2-1/4"T Boss/TransAm port size

notice underside of port runners thickness/difference in castings of parker & procomp version...

the pce version is also a coarser sand casting then the pkr version

I was told the 3 v head had the 2v intake port size and 4v exaust ports not to sure . any one out there know if this is true

 

[boss]

most 2V port intakes have simular port size openings to the old svo B3 size int ports, they are just in a different/lower location so with spacer plates, porting and bolt hole ovaling most 2V intakes could be modded to use on 4V heads.

This is the "3V" sm/pc clev head which is also basically a copy of the old SVO A3,B3,C3 intake port design,
exh port height on this 3V/A3 type sm/pc head are also about same height as FORDs original p/s hi-port exh plate head mod.

I just came across this add ... CYLINDER HEADS FORD 351c CLEVELAND-NEW For Sale

saying that 3V heads use a raised port SVO design so its confusing/stupid that some of these sellers/aussies even mention 2V ports as the 3V/A3/B3/C3 ports are Higher than the factory 2V port heads. Need to use 4V intake gaskets or svo int gaskets or org sm/pc A3 type gaskets.

this is a 4V felpro #1228 intake gasket on these 3V/SVO type copy 1-5/8" wide x 2-1/8" tall cnc port castings...

left sides & floors on these heads can be ported/opened up more, to FORD's original 1-11/16" wide X 2-1/4" tall Boss/TransAm/4V port
