windsor and cleveland

[bigbronc2632]

i have a 351 windsor and my uncle was telling me how he wanted to get a cleveland. i was wondering if anyone could tell me what the difference is

totally different block, its kind of a small big block, as most people will say, i beleive it is the same block as the 400ci but don't quote me on that,

Do a search. I posted a link in a previous thread to the history of the Cleveland, M and Windsor blocks. There's lots of difference in blocks and heads between those models. A 351Cleveland motor is generally not as good as the 351Windsor for the 4wd TRUCKS due to it's HP and torque range or powerband being too high. Good racing motors.

like everyone else said, totally different motors. with that said, the innards on cleveland motors are really stout. more than a few motorheads have swapped cleveland innards into a windsor for a power motor setup

How was it determined which vehicles received the windors or the cleveland? Say oh for instance what do I have in mine? Thanks again. As a side note, I received my "build sheet" for my bronco today. I followed a link post on here and it went to Fords customer service center. I now know what the original equipment was on my bronco. They even included the build date. Now my wife just wants to know if we have to have a birthday party for it too. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

one difference between the 351w and the 351c is that the 351c has a wider intake and is primarily used for carbuerated engines where as the 351w is smaller and used for fuel injected engines.
