Actually, that's true. Ford's history with small blocks is kinda complicated. The aforementioned engines were made at the Cleveland plant, yet they are not "Cleveland" engines; they are not a part of the Cleveland family. It's often said that the Boss 302 is a Windsor block with Cleveland heads, which is also false. The block was the same one they had been using, and the heads were a brand new design, which was developed in large part by modifying the existing heads. The results were so great, that Ford decided there needed to be a new block to go with these new heads, so they designed the 351C. In other words, the heads came first, and the block followed.

Take care,
~Chris
