Ok Guys what does the 2v/4v stand for when listed with a engine, like 289 2v?

I was thinking valves, but I really don't think anything from the 60's has a 4valve per cylinder head.

I know what 2bbl and 4bbl means...

 

[conv cat]

It's the carburetor designation...2V is a two-barrel carb, and 4V is four-barrel. A tri-power setup is referred to as 6V.

Thanks, I had thought about that but wasn't sure..

The heads are all the same for a 351W, but with other engines, like the 351C, there are 2v and 4v heads.

The V stands for "venturi".

 

[Cranman]

Ahhh it's all becoming clear now

Hey, that's funny! I thought I was the onle one that wondered if my car came with a 32 valve engine in it.
Would have been cool if it did though.

Cheers!

im the kind of guy that will get mad at the car and hack it up just because its not working right. im gonna try to deal with the carb and running issues more tomorrow and see what i can do for it. if not.... well ill just say this.. i bought it to drive and its almost worthless to me if its not driveable..... almost.....

 

[xr7gt]

[sixt9coug]

if i get it running right youll see what im gonna do to this one lol. and yes, im an impulsive person. i can assure you that if i had the means tonight, i would have cut the roof off the poor car and had my 'Vert. but well, i did not have the means to do it so its still in one piece... err... well, the mother ship and her little sattelites that fall off every chance they get

 

[cmpcpro]

Okay okay, this is getting way off subject!!

 

[xr7gt]

What was the question anyway?

 

[cmpcpro]

The original question was what does 2v and 4v mean, I believe.

 

[xr7gt]

Oh!
It means 2 Venturi or 4 Venturi.
Does that help? lol
