D1OE 351W heads....

i cant find any info on these heads. everything i have seen reads from D0OE to D2OE, but no D1's. these heads are also marked with a '351' and an 'X'. anyone have any info???

 

Apparently off of a 71 Torino/Fairlane. Havent really found much yet regarding valve/chamber size. I'll keep digging.

 

Should be 60.4 chamber and 1.84/1.54 valves. Supposedly same casting as the D0 351 heads.

 

hmmm.... they may be worth getting then

 

In that pic they look a little fuzzy with rust. I would venture a guess that they will need to be gone through completely and unless you get them really cheap they probably wont be worth the effort or expense.

 

i hardly ever buy anything that isnt cheap

 

The W heads were all big valve and small chamber from 69 to 75.
The C9s had ever so slightly smaller chambers. Other than that, they all had the largest valves and ports available.
C9 chambers were ~58cc, the rest were 60cc.
The later ones have internal smog plumbing... doesn't really matter though.
Same heads. They rival aftermarket heads when ported properly.
Just taking out the huge solid lump in the exhaust port is supposed to be good for 30 hp. No other mods.

 

thanks Dave. im gonna look into them. can prolly get them for under $100. we'll see

 

These were not only used on Fairlanes and Torinos. They were used on a 351W cars. The "O" in the Engineering prefix denotes what vehicle line the engineering costs were assigned to, not the actual vehicle that they went into

 

I see, thanks I figured more learned Ford freaks than I would chime in.

 

It's a common mistake, no sweat. Ford frequently interchanged parts among the various vehicle lines. So there's no way to know what vehicle any particular part came from, unless you pulled it yourself from an unmolested vehicle.
