Small Block HP - How Much?

[RACER X #99]

Wayne, You are the first person I heard of using those heads. As you know these are the only heads that are approved for the strictly stock Sportsman Racing programs. These heads work so well that the brand X racers are always complaining about an unfair advantage for Ford (it's about time).According to what I have read these are the best flowing heads from either Ford or Chevrolet that are approved for Sportsman racing.It is amazing that Chevy ruled the Sportsman ranks for years until Ford deceided to get serious about the entry level series.
Sounds like you have built a winner.
Good luck with it,

You are right, these heads really flow. As I said they are not really ported, yet the engine was able to put up some pretty good numbers. One big drawback with these heads is the bolt pattern for the exhaust, not the same as any others. I didn't care since I had to have custom headers made anyway.

I got the heads, brand new, from a friend of mine who races DIRT modified. He uses the same engine builder that put my engine together. Chevy powered cars absolutely ruled this track for many years. Then the Ford powered car took the championship 2 of the past 3 years. You wanna hear the Chevy guys cry. I guess they think they must always win.

By the way, Ford has now come out with N352 heads that have slightly smaller ports but reportedly flow just as well as the N351 heads. They are supposed to really work on smaller cube engines like the 302's. These new heads are in the latest Ford Motorsport catalog.
