Ford's 351 Cleveland was designed to be a 'mid-sized' V-8
engine, and was developed for higher performance use upon its launch in late
1969 for the 1970 models. This unique design proved itself under the hood of
Ford's Mustang, among other high performance cars. 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 numbers 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.
