A Pantera site in the US has just introduced aluminum 351Cleveland heads for the 351 Ford Cleveland engine. These heads are being imported to the USA from Australia. They are supposed to be made by a company called CHI in Australia, and are being sold in US as C3V head.

The Ford 351 Cleveland engine had a 2 barrel (2V) head with smaller ports and valves, and a 4 barrel (4V) head with bigger ports and valves. The C3V heads have 4V valve sizes, and smaller ports for improved mid range flow and torque. Being aluminum, they weigh half as much.

Cleveland engines were only made in US from '69 - '73. Cleveland engines are plentyful in Australia, so there would be more of a market for a better aftermarket head.

What can you guys tell us about this head?
