Subject : Pictures Please - Ford 351 - Ford351C - Ford351W

Hi,

I am working on a new website www.Ford351.com and need pictures of
Ford 351 engines. I had a '72 Ford Torino with a 351C engine but no
good engine pictures before restoration.

Specifically, I am looking for 351 C or 351 W engines. Pictures of a
"Boss 351" or 351 engines factory installed in non-Ford cars (Pantera,
Ski Nautique, Jeep) will be interesting.

Please do not mail me pictures of your cars. I am looking for Ford
351 engine pictures.

Images to .

Thanks,

The internet has many pictures of all sorts of engines. Use Google "images"
as a search tool, and just Google "web" to research the engines.

I wonder if you know the Cleveland and the Windsor are not related.
Except that they were both in Ford cars and they sound alike because
of the 351. Some parts can be made to swap with a lot of machine work.
The Cleveland had a much shorter run and is more interesting in other
ways. Try to hang onto it.

If you wanted to do something really interesting get into the FE big
blocks.

They had the same block and crank, didn't they? (As if that makes a
difference.)

And then there was the 351M (modified), which was closer to the C than
to the W IIRC.

The W and C blocks weren't even close, although IIRC, Cleveland heads could be made
to fit on a Windsor with some modifications and a special intake manifold. I don't
remember the particulars though, that was a looong time ago.
The 351C and 351M are 'similar' but there is very little interchange between the two.
For all intents and purposes, they are all three distinctly different engines.

Oh heaven's no.

are correct on some days. Read up.

the only thing the Cleveland and Windsor share in common is the bell housing
bolt pattern. other than that, they are 2 completely different engines.

And iron blocks / iron heads.
And bore spacing.
And bore size(4.00" - also shared with the 352 FE engine).
And stroke(3.5" - also shared with the 352 FE engine).
And displacement(352 cid - also shared with the 352 FE engine).
And head bolt pattern.
And 3.00" main bearings(on some).
