What all common cars do you know of with a 351 Cleveland? I don't need to know cars that are impossible to find like the pantera or bricklin.

 

They aren't common anymore! some Stangs, Torinos, and other late 60's to mid 70's Fords came stock with them. Personally I think the 351C is overrated and you can do just as good and be more reliable with 351W. Parts are much more readily available and much cheaper too for the Windsor engine.

 

Yeah, I'm with roundman. The Windors are IMO better than the Clevlands. The 351W is a tougher block than the 289/302, but has the same bore spacing and bore diameter so heads retrofit. 302 HO and 351W use the same fireing order 2 so cams can be exchanged as well. Basicly what im saying is that it will be a lot cheaper and easier to build a Windsor than it will be a Cleveland. Like roundy said, it will be more reliable, too its power capabilities are better than a Cleveland due to the huge aftermarket.

 

why do an engine swap? stroke and poke the 302 to 347 and whip some ***.

 

the 351 will last longer then a 347. also, the 347 cant rev as high

 

Just for knowledge of what cars its in guys. I have no intention of using a 351c. I'm going with a 351W a little later on.
