Need help with 351 engine
I have been looking for a 351 for my neighbors mustang. I found a 351 from a 79 Bronco but dont know if it is a Windsor or Cleveland or ???? And is this a usable engine being that it is from a truck.
Any help.

from the web ......................
maybe you should try and ****** up the whole car, sounds like they're kinda rare.
says they used the 351M/400
The 1978 & 1979 Ford Bronco, also called "second-generation" Broncos, are perhaps the rarest, most mysterious, and most highly sought after Broncos in existence. Considered lost treasures by many, they were only manufactured for two years and are the only Broncos that were built on the indestructible 1973-1979 F-Series pickup chassis. The second-generation Broncos are unique in almost every aspect of it's design, from being the only Bronco ever built that exclusively used the Cleveland based 351M/400 engines to being the only full-size Broncos ever built with a solid front axle (considered the best axle design for 4-wheeling). The questions that people ask the most about the second-generation Broncos is why were these Broncos only manufactured for two years and what is the history behind them?

RE: Need help with 351 engine
A 79 Bronco would have had a 351M-400. They were put in light duty trucks from 1977-1982. The last year for the 351 Cleveland was like in 1975 when the 351M replaced it for use in large passenger cars. The 302 and 351W engines continued for several more years. So, my guess is that the 79 Bronco engine you have is indeed a 351-400.
