							| The most accepted meaning for 4v and 2v when discussing heads is the factory design for use with either a 2 or 4 barrel carburetor.  The "V" is short for venturi.  This is a big factor in how the heads were designed to flow air, as the 4V heads typically had larger ports and valve diameters.
