I have a 71 351 Cleveland 2 barrel and I was wondering if it was possible to switch it over to a 4 barrel with just an intake manifold. I've heard that I would need to change out the heads and lifters as well. Also I was folks I could just put a bigger cam in. Both rocky info. I could use some advice ion this. Please help....

 

4 barrell intakes are available for 2 barrell headed engines and will actually perform better ....

 

You can install an Edelbrock Performer 351C-2V (model 2750) intake to your 2 barrel 351 and it will allow you to use a 4 barrel carb. I did the same thing and it made a big difference. The engine breathes much better.

 

there you go .. a mild cam and headers will wake it up even more ...

 

Thanks guys this is a big help. Now for the headers I've heard it both ways but I'm leaning towards long tubes instead of shortys. Also looking to put a posi in aswell any suggestions?

 

more info about the basic car will be needed .. 4 speed or automatic .. kind of gear ratio you want ..do you want to race it ..we will all give you different opinions on things like cams` gears` and carb sizes ...

 

Well I want it to be road drivable but want it GO when I say go. Gotta keep these rice burners in check . It has a c6 fmx auto I believe.. was thinking about putting in a 4spd top loader later on and not sure about gear ratio. Very new to this but very willing to learn.
