the 351 cleveland is a completely different beast than the windsor. parts are harder to find and more expensive, and the block itself is a lot bigger. You'll have to do a lot of mods to make it fit in your car. Hope your good at fabricating, I was lookin into some of those, and I could never find any numbers, but all the old guys I talked to were making it clear I would be happy with the power it made compared to a windsor.....Im guessin around 350? They had way oversized valves, they had to "cant" the valves to make them fit in the head....basically just offset the hell out of them....i found out a good bit, but most of the stuff I know has nothing to do with fittin it into a fox.....

From what I have heard, a c-4 is a better choice for a fox, I am swapping my c-6 to a guy I know for his c-4. I guess exhaust clearance and trans tunnel clearance are issues. Need more details on the build, is the motor done or do you need to build it? is it 2V or 4V? I'll have 600 into redoing my 4V heads, 200 into the lower end rebuild(new crank and machine work) 185 into basic block work, 400 for a set of forged pistons, etc etc, it adds up quick. However it is a torque monster of an engine. That being said, you will need to stiffen your fox a lot or you will wind up with a pretzel! Connectors, torque boxes, 8.8 axle will all need attention. Putting it in is not theexpensive part, making it work properly and safely is. Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think a 302 and 351C have the same engine mounts. More details about what it is going in would be useful.
