Ford 351 - Ford 351C - Ford 351W
Also known as "351 Cleveland", and "351 Windsor".
Ford 351
Produced by Ford Motor Company from 1969 through 1997, the Ford 351 cubic
inch engine, also known as the "Ford 351W" or "Ford 351C" was a favorite
V8
engine of the GM line. Appearing in such models as the Ford Mustang, Ford
full size cars and trucks, Jeep-brand Wagoneer, and Ski Nautique ski
boats,
the Ford 351 also was the engine of choice for the mid-engine Pantera
sports
car in the 1970s.
Introduced in 1969, the 351 c.i. "Windsor" (351W) was rated between 250
and
290 stock horsepower with a 3.5 inch stroke in a 335 small block. In 1970,
the 351 "Cleveland" (351C) was introduced primarily for the Ford Mustang.
The majority of 351 Cleveland engines are 2 barrel carburetor versions
with
low compression, although the rare "Boss 351C", produced only in 1971, was
rated at 330 base horsepower. At the end of the 1974 model year, Ford
ceased
production of the 351C "Cleveland" design at the Cleveland, Ohio plant.
Production of the immensely popular 351W "Windsor" continued until 1997
when
the Windsor, Ontario plant was closed.

These motors are not, and never have been, known as "or." They are
completely different designs, differing in many ways, most notably the
physical size differences. Except for the displacement -- 351 cubic
inches -- there is nothing similar about them. They are not interchangable
in most applications, however I'd be teh first to admit that with enough
fabrication skills one could interchange anything.
I was not aware the the Ford 351C was a favorite of the GM line. Could you
provide any citation where GM used Ford power plants?
Good luck with your Website.
