is 1983 318 2bbl heads the same as 1983 4bbl heads ?

[Gordon Maney]

318 2 barrel heads ARE different than 318 4 barrel heads because there 360 4 barrel heads / the PORT sizes are very different

Oops. Thank you for correcting me.

not a problem Gordon / just ask anybody thats put a 4 barrel on a 2 barrel 318 and had it run worse because of the port sizes

Broadening to all brands, isn't it true there are V8's using the same heads on both 2 and 4 barrel applications?

yes thats true but not with the 318 / the 360 2 and 4 barrel used the same heads

now heres one were the plain 440 used small heads and the HP used BIG heads and both had 4 barrels

small heads = low end torque and fuel economy / just like what the 318 was made for

BIG heads = mid to high horse power - 340 - 360 - 440 and toilet bowl size HEMI heads
