Hi you all, I'm new here from the Netherlands.

I have a 1967 Ford Mustang with a 351C 4V engine.

I want to build up my engine new, and I have 2 Edelbrock RPM Performer cylinder heads laying around here. I want to use these cylinder heads, but I'm not sure if I can use these heads in combination with my pistons. I have the TRW L2348 pistons in my block with some small domes on it.

Does anyone from you have experience with these pistons in combination with the edelbrock cylinder heads?

Thanks,
Roel

I don't think the ED heads are an upgrade at least not from what I've read... They haven't reviewed well.

Stick with the iron 4Vs. It's a better head that Edelbrock.

Sell the Edelebrock heads and put the money into a mild port job (or clean up). Maybe some valve train upgrades.A cam upgrade?

knock the ridges outta the throat and keep the diameter of the throat as small as you can 1.875 is usually about as small as you can go and still get it cleaned up . they are about 1.75 stock so it's not a big smoking deal as to where it will peak and the flow will jump way up from .3 on up to .7 or so.

It can all be done with a stone if you're uncomfortable with carbide.

So nobody here knows anything about the combination from using the ED cylinder heads with 60cc chambers in combination with my TRW L2348 pistons.

I know people talk bad about these ED heads, but I have a pair new heads laying around there, and I just want to use them for my spare engine. I have a 4 bolt Cleveland with 1971 CC heads in my Mustang now, and I found another 4 bolt block, so because I have those ED heads laying around there I would use them for this engine. The engine has a 030 overbore, and both engines are stock stroked.

Thanks,

But change the pistons. The Eds are pretty much designed to work with a flat top piston. From what little I know about the Ed heads, I can bet that the chamber has about zero relationship to a stock 4V chamber. The target market is a stock 351C 2V engine, 351M and 400s, all of which will have flat or dished (mostly dished) piston tops. Any domed piston for a 351C would need a lot of dome rework or maybe have it shaved off flat. Might as well sell those to someone that could use them as is and get a set you can run with the heads. Cheaper to change pistons than heads.

Note - even with flat tops and a zero deck, you are still looking at 11.2:1 compression on a 351C with a 60cc head. Cam accordingly or look for a dished piston of some kind.

Funny... I've taken apart 2v motors in the last week, and all of them were flat tops... luck of the draw?

No experience with this head, and i not know if chamber is compatible with this domed piston !
But 60cm3 head with TRW2348 do >12:1CR ; i think standard octane fuel not go well (pinging problem).

i looked some but didn't find it

how bout using the Ebrock heads and the pistons(if the dome works with the chamber)?

destroke using a 302C crank and appropriate rods and the CR might be usable?

if the domes aren't quite right they could be whittled away to work... and make the CR better too

Old TRW book showed them as 12 cc dome

Yes, 12cm3.
But this dome is not fill, no work possible.
