RE: Head I D |

basicly they only made 3 type of heads for the cleveland, 2V open, 4V open, and 4V quench, the opens were 76 cc and the quench were near 57 cc, quench only made in 1970-71 so woul dhave a doae or d1ae casting number on bottom side of head, all 351M/400 heads were identicle till 1985 as the 2V heads...
although production did continue in aussie with a 2V quench head, no american made true cleveland head had hardened seats, last made were 73 although claims of 1974 clevelands are made, but have not seen any true 351 clevelands in 1974, the 351m/400 heads did have the hardened seats... depending how much you drive the car the cost sometimes does not justify hardened seats, if you are going to pound n the engine, by all means get them done, but if daily driven or weekend driven not to much of a concern, i drag raced my cleveland for near 5 yrs with no hardened seats with no problems...
check out the site for a ton of cleveland stuff and pics of many cars including mine
