The 2V heads will probably perform better than the 4Vs in most usage. The big port/valve heads don't really start working until probably 3000 rpm and up. The 2V heads use app. the same size valve as a 460, so I wouldn't worry about it being a boat anchor. The biggest drawback, or was when Sunoco 260 was 19 cents a gallon, is they have open chamber heads which has lower compression. Not such a big deal anymore. I would identify the cam before seeking a new one, it may have a nice one already. When you get it removed there should be identifying #s on it, usually on and end. All sb Fords used a 28 oz weighted flywheel early on and only changed long after the Cleveland left the building.
