For a stock displacement 351C that needs an intake that fits under
the engine screen, yes.

No, there is a port size difference. It's not huge but it's enough
I had to trim the turkey pan gasket with a dremel tool and port match
the cylinder heads.

Holley owns Weiand so that's why they recommend it but it's a good
choice for that.

Yes, the CHI 2V and even the Edelbrock 2V flow better than the typical
ported Aussie 2V head.
