What is the difference between a 302 and a 351 Cleveland?

What is the difference between a 302 and a 351 Cleveland?

On a 302 (or smaller c.i.d.) blocks, the distributor mount is almost flush with the top of the block (where the intake sits). A 351W block is taller. So, the distributor mount is below the block surface where the intake sits. There is also more space between the water passages and the cylinder heads.

Can a 351 Cleveland head be used on a 302?

one other thing. you need to make sure these heads are 351 windsor heads. 351 cleveland heads will not work on a 302 block without a special clevor intake manifold which is no longer being produced. hey guys…i recenty found out that i have the C80E 1968 4V heads on my 302.

What kind of head flow did the Ford 351C have?

The answer was simple, the Cleveland family–and the 4V version more specifically–offered massive head flow. The 351C 4V motors, and even the smaller 1969 & 1970 Boss 302, offered head flow unmatched by any (regular) production small block Ford, Chevy, or Dodge heads of the period.

What was the engine compression on a 1971 Ford 351 Cleveland?

The 1971 R-code “Boss 351” used higher compression (11.7:1) with the quench head 4V heads, solid lifters, an aluminum intake manifold, and 4-bolt main caps. so It produced about 330 hp (246 kW). The R-code 351 Cleveland for 1972 was considerably different. It had reduced compression for emissions compliance and used open-chamber heads.

What’s the difference between 302 and 351W intakes?

The 351W heads will bolt right on. You use the 302 intake. There are some things that you will have to address, though. The 351w heads use 1/2″ head bolts vs the 302 which uses slightly smaller 7/16″ bolts. ARP sells special reducing washers to fill the gap and to keep the bolts in line.

A Modern Take On A Ford 351 Cleveland Nets Almost 900 Horsepower N/A. By Greg Acosta February 01, 2019. Back in the day, the Ford 335 Cleveland family of engines were killer OEM performers. Known primarily for their large intake and exhaust ports, and large, canted valves, the Cleveland family of engines also enjoyed improved engine block technology, including mains that either came from the factory with four bolts, or were easily retrofitted to a four-bolt design.

What is the difference between 351 Windsor and 351 Cleveland?

The 351 Windsor has small heads and ports with small side-by-side, in-line valves and straight, five-bolt valve covers. It uses regular 5/8 inch spark plugs. The numerals 351 are cast into the lifter valley. Unlike the Cleveland, it uses a block timing chain and the radiator hose connects to the intake manifold.
