Hey Mercury, maybe that's because a lot of the time Ford didn't make any distinguishing information put on the cars numbers?
They were actually a little short on Windsors in a couple cases so the Clevelands were used to supplement the lines on some cars. That means you may have gotten a Cleveland, or you may have gotten a Windsor. The only way to find out was to pop the hood in some cases. The 351C 4V was available in the Mustang in 1970-1973 I believe. I think production for trucks continued into the mid/late 1970's. For Full Sized Models Custom, Galaxie, LTD, Monterey, and Marquis from 1973-1977 the Clevelands were placed between the fenders. They were all of the 2V variety. Net hp ranged from 148-163. After 1977 the Windsor and Modified were the only 351's used. For Intermediate Models: Comet, Cougar, Maverick, Montego, Mustang, Gran Torino, Torino, Elite, Granada, Monarch, and LTD II. The Cleveland may have been an option. It's hp levels ranged from 148-264. Some were 2V and some were 4V. After 1976 the Windsors and Modifieds were phased completely in. Again, the only way to tell what has what engine is to pop the hood. You could have two identical cars sitting next to each other, one could have the 351W and the other a 351C. All 4V models were the Cleveland, I believe. I don't have any data for pre 1973 at close hand, but the Cleveland and all the performance engines went way downhill after they dropped compression ratios in 1972 or 1973. The Cleveland was only made from 1970-1977. Hope this helps some. |
