I have a few questions on a 351.

What is the difference between the 351C & 351W?
Which one is better?
Will both fit the stock 5 speed tranny?
Which would you go with??
Which is better FI'd (Fuel Injected)?

Thanks!

 

Clevland is considered a big block and winsor is small block.

Heads are differnt and valley pans.

The winsor takes less modifications to work.

 

I dont know the exact differences between the two but i think you'd be much happier with a windsor. They are much easier to make power, and will bolt up farily easy. The windsor will fit the stock 5 speed whereas the cleveland will not. I dont think i have ever even seen a fuel injected cleveland either. Windsor FTW!!!!

 

NO a Cleavland was never fuel injected .Windsors make more Hp and hold up better to High Hp that a 302

 

Thanks for your reply's.

 

most of your 5.0 parts will bolt up to the windsor, since they're both windsor blocks. a cleveland is totally different, so it would be much harder to make work in a mustang.

 

lmao a clevland blows the doors off a windsor..yall need to check info and read.. a clev has huge valves and huge ports and flow tons of air up top..and the block is taller then a windsor.. ask a real exp engine builder that knows like a machine shop..ill take a clev over a windsor any day..butthen again i know the difference in them...clevs are a lil more $ to have done as far as intakes and stuff,but are awsome power plants..all ya have to do is read a book,and learn..somtimes gettin info on here isnt allways right...donttaker my word for it..check the facts...

 

hellas is right clevelands will eatup windsors all day, but its almost impossible to find good cleveland parts, let alone performance parts.

 

got that right and if you do find them Its $$$$$$$$$ to get them

 

first of all the cleveland is not a big block, second of all the parts for a cleveland are very hard to come by third off it wont bolt up to ur tranny u will need a C4 or a toploader, the windsor is better for two reasons, bolts right up to the fox platform and aftermarket scene is huge. The cleveland is a much better motor stock, it has well over 300 hp and has sent 1971 mustangs down the 1/4 mile in the mid 13's stock. But as far as puttin one in ur fox stick wit a windsor
