OK, I'm a newbie. What are the visible differences between the 351 Cleveland and 351 Windsor engines?

 

8 bolts on the valve covers as opposed to the 6 on a windsor and the radiator goes into the engine block rather then the intake like on the windsor

 

just curious, which engine is better? 351C or 351W

 

now that is a question argued over and over again. we have had many discussions on here, so search for them. clevo parts r alittle more expensive and not as easy to find and windsor parts rnt as expensive and are readily available. but clevos can make alot more power easier then a windsor

 

Check the FAQ section

 

torque-W
horsepower-C
parts availability-W
cool factor-C

 

Maybe we can get Soaring to lock this thread...we don't really need another c vs w debate when we had like 20 in the last year do we

 

Yeah, if you guys would just stick to answering the original question, and not debate which engine is better, we wouldn't have to lock it. So, stick with the question of what the visible differenes are.

 

i dont think there should be a reason to stop a debate over the W vs C because its the best argument you can get on this site....

 

Then start a new thread. The original thread starter was asking what the visible differences were, not which one was better. Let's not rob his thread with a new question. Those who wish to participate in your new thread about which engine is better can participate, and those who don't give a rip can pass. We don't argue on here. We debate.
