    bore and stroke of 4.00 X 3.50.

    a light weight block to beat.

    one of the most desirable V8 engines Ford had to offer.

    a two barrel or four barrel setup.

    From 1970 to 1971 the 351 boosted between 250 to 240 horsepower.

    As time progress, the 351 Cleveland saw lessor horsepower until its’ demise in 1975.

    the 351 Windsor, which belongs to the 90 degree V8 family and bears no resemblance or connection to the 351 Cleveland.

    351 CJ
    Introduced in the fall of 1971

    mostly of four bolt mains, however there are some with two bolt mains.

    possessed a spread bore bolt pattern cast iron manifold
