I know that it is possile, has anyone here put a 351 Cleveland into a 90GT? I have a 90GT ragtop that needs a motor and I can get a great deal on a Cleveland right now. The car that I am going to put it in needs everything under the hood, car had a fire. So that means if I used that motor I wouldnt have to inject it and would not have to buy all the harness' and a new computer. Any input? Thanks.

why a big block?

get either another 302 or a 351W.... MUCH easier to install for people with less mustang technical knowledge
(not an assumption... just stating a fact)

friend of mine has a 351c in his 79 well did it blew up last mustang shoot out of last year it ran 11.20 on motor and 9.80 on nos. you will need headers and a oil pan the 5.0 motor mounts work and so will the trans but you will also need the 28oz bla. flex plate/ flywheel.other then that they fit just as easy as the other Ford small block.make sure you get the right headers due to 2V or 4V heads.

as for the fire just use a painless wiring kit

Hey man, no experience personally but i have a feeling since the Windsor and the Cleveland are pretty much the same size, the only difference being the C was hydraulic cam, had different valve setup with the option of 4v head and some other minor top end changes like pedastal mounts for the rockers, it will be a somewhat painless install. I'd give it a shot if I were you. The bellhousing bolts and motor mounts are the same as the 351W. good luck!

the cleveland is a small block with crazy amounts of torque!

You'll be better off with a Windsor than a Cleveland. The Cleveland's are notorious for cooling problems. Also, I don't think the Windsor mounts will work. You may need Cleveland specific engined mounts. However, the Cleveland heads are amazing! If you get a good Cleveland intake (Windosr won't fit!), the heads flow a 2.02 and 1.60 stock.

i think the cleveland is a little wider than the winsor motor. hope you go with the cleveland, let us know. oh, what year is your motor? is it 4 bolt main ? good luck.
