You're headers sound nice. Most 4V headers are 1 7/8"
and still have a little taper to fit the huge port. If you look
at the port, much of it is wasted space. The 2V port, despite
being smaller, moves as much air and at a higher speed.
Most 2V headers are 1 3/4".

Which intake are you running? I bet you can run a larger
carb and pickup some hp without driveability problems.
I run a 735 Holley on the 351C-2V Aussie in the Pantera
and a 750 Edelbrock on the 351C-4V in the '66 Mustang.
