ABOUT
The
unique design proved itself under the hood of Ford's Mustang, among other
high performance cars. The Cleveland engine addressed the major shortcoming
of the Windsor engines that preceded it, namely cylinder head air flow.
The Windsor engines just couldn't be built at the time to compete effectively
with the strongest GM and Mopar small blocks offerings, and the Cleveland
engine was the answer to that problem. Unfortunately, the Cleveland engine
was introduced at the end of Detroit's muscle car era, and the engine,
in pure Cleveland form, was very short lived. It did continue on as a low
compression passenger car and truck engine in the form of the 351M and
400M, which in their day, offered little in the way of excitement. Renewed
enthusiasm in this engine has spawned an influx of top-quality new components
that make building or modifying these engines affordable.
This new book reviews the history and variations of the 351 Cleveland
and Ford's related engines, the 351M and 400M. Basic dimensions and specifications
of each engine, along with tips for identifying both design differences
and casting number(s) are shown. In addition to this, each engine's strong
points and areas of concern are described in detail. Written with high
performance in mind, both traditional power tricks and methods to increase
efficiency of these specific engines are shared.
With the influx of aftermarket parts, especially excellent cylinder
heads, the 351 Cleveland as well as the 351M and 400M cousins are now seen
as great engines to build. This book will walk you through everything you
need to know to build a great street or competition engine based in the
351 Cleveland platform.
