Got myself a 351 Clevland Motor

I shouldn't complain about weight. I've got a V12 Jag at home - 327 cubes from 680 pounds

 

Well cheap is your biggest problem. Sandersons do shorty blockhuggers for the 351C 4V - but cheap they ain't. Mind you the US $ is pretty weak so maybe now is the time ..... make sure you have US size 4V exhaust ports though - which pretty much rules out the 4.9.

 

Heck, I have some headers that came off my motor, short.... would most likely fit in a tight knit engine bay. There rusty as hell, and I already Mig-welded one of the spots where it cracked. You pay for the shipping I'll send umm your way.

 

Btw, someone find me a body... cheap. Im only 20 years old, work my ass off. and this project isn't cheap at all haha. Im looking for a Model A sedan, or old Dodge, or Ford Pick-up truck..... any help is awesome. Im in Socal, keep it local please

 

my boss is searching for me, unfortunately it's taking forever, and I wanna start welding my frame!

 

Thanks! I know what you mean about most Clevelands looking like a lipsticked pig...

The valve covers are old Cal Custom parts I got off Ebay. The air cleaner is from Dennis at O'Brien Truckers. MSD distributor with a BLACK cap... those are getting tough to find for some reason. ARP stainless bolt kit adds some interest... or as I like to call it, "bling!"

 

Are you SURE you have a Cleveland? The 351M and 400 engines looked very similar. I've heard of several people supposedly having a 351 Cleveland...only to wind up with a 351M...or, in one case, a 351 Windsor!

Here is a good link for more info:

Cool score if it's a Cleveland, BTW...they are cool looking/performing engines...the 351M is an overlooked engine in my opinion, the only downside being $$$ to build. Lots of Bronco guys are stuck with them.

 

The M heads don't have a 2 or 4 in the upper corners. The C has a dry intake, the W is wet(thermontat).
