Default 1969 Cleveland mustang?

Hi, this my first post, great site!

Ive got a question i hope someone can answer, has anyone ever seen a 351 cleveland factory fitted to a late 1969 Mustang (or other Ford)? i know they were avaliable in 1970, but ive got a couple of early 1969 cleveland blocks and wondered if any snuck into 1969 Mustangs, or were these early blocks used in 1970 cars?

Thanks for you help.

I've heard people say this before, but when pressured, it was a 351W...

I don't believe any clevelands made there way into a 1969, some windsors however did make there way into early 1970's.

Thanks, im very interested to persue this, might go no where, but ive found a M code "cleveland" reference on the option lists for the 69 Mustang, might be a rarity cause it was a new untried motor, but there might be a few around?

No 351c where installed in 1969.

Marti from marti works who has all the Ford records has confirmed this numerous times.
