We must
never forget the price of Freedom



Sold Out
When I brought up my 1974
Aussie Falcon XB-GT Coupe I brought up a load of the famous Aussie 351C
closed chamber 2V heads. I started out with just shy of 100. I'm down to about
30 now.
It's well known that
these heads will increase the compression in your 351C, 351M or 400M almost 1.5
points. It's also well known that they will directly bolt on to any of the above
blocks without any mods. The Aussie heads use the same 2V valves & springs as
the U.S. versions so there's no issues with locating parts. The one thing they
don't have is E.G.R. porting. This shouldn't be an issue unless you're running
in a vehicle less that 25 years old and if you are you can still use them along
with your E.G.R. intake and win on both sides. I know from personal experience
that all that E.G.R. crap didn't work worth a damn and I always got my cars to
pass well above the limits without it. The only catch was it had to look like it
was all hooked up & working. Since these heads aren't drilled for E.G.R. porting
you can install all the other emissions crap for a full blown legal look and not
a whiff of exhaust gas will ever make it through the head.
For the vintage car/truck
owner seeking more power these are the hot ticket. It's been proven that a
closed chamber head has better flame travel than an open chamber which means
more of the air charge will burn when it should. The smaller chamber will
burn a charge more efficiently and completely than an open chamber head which
means cleaner emissions. You'll make more power with closed chambers and flat
top pistons than with open chambers and pop up pistons. This is what I've
learned from reading volumes of articles on what makes power.
OK, now that we know they'll
make more power you should also know that these heads are from the days of
leaded fuel. To run these on the street with unleaded fuel you should have the
exhaust seats replaced. If you're a part time driver you don't have to but you
really should if you're building a high performance engine. Why spend money good
now only to spend even more later down the road to correct an oversight.
Each & ever head has been
thermal cleaned and magnafluxed to be sure they're good, crack free rebuild able
cores. Of course they range in condition from excellent used to those that need
guides & seats. Prices are for bare heads which run $450 & down.
