Reading some other threads about 351w vs 351c vs 351m, the consensus seems pretty straight forward:
  • There are no BB or SB Fords. Fords have family names like FE, 335 series, 385 series, Winsor, and Mod motors (along with a few others). But the whole concept of BB or SB is a lead-over from the Chevy world and has no real place in Ford. After the discussion here on this board, I came to that conclusion all on my own. It's nice to know that's the general consensus by other Ford enthusiasts as well.
  • The 351c was a great engine for its day. It came with 2v and 4v heads. The 2v heads were OK but nothing special. But the real reason the engine was made was for the 4v heads to compete in Nascar since the Winsor wasn't cutting it. The 4v Cleveland did the trick for Nascar, but is a race engine and doesn't really work well as a street engine since it doesn't really begin performing until about 4000 RPMs.
  • The 351m has a taller deck height because it's basically a 400 block destroked with a 351w crank. They have the nickname boat anchor since their added weight for no real value makes them fairly useless engines. They were far better left as 400s.
  • The 351w was a weaker block as compared to the others, but still quite capable. It got a bad reputation in the older days because of piss-poor head design. But thanks to the excellent aftermarket support for the 302 HO, the 351w coat-tailed on that same effort because most of the 302 hardware works equally as well on 351w engines making the 351w the clear winner of the Ford 351s today.
I didn't confirm any of this stuff. I'm just repeating the highlights from threads like this one:
351 Modified vs. 351 windsor vs. 351 cleavland

I do want to add I think a 351C in a Ranger would be cool. Definitely a one of kind rig, and if you put good heads it will run like a raped ape. If I had the cash I would probably do one just cause it seems like it would be a cool project. I say if it's what you want go for it, would love to see one done.

I agree, a 351c Ranger would certainly get kudos in the uniqueness arena. But I'm afraid it doesn't get much in the practicality. But perhaps a 351c where part of the project was fabbing a set of AFR185s onto it might. I don't think there's ever been a Cleveland head (stock or worked) that has ever performed like a set of AFRs.

The 351C is a SMALL BLOCK!!! It shares alot with other sbf as stated earlier and doesnt share but only one thing with the 429/460 big blocks the distributor. Ford has always call the Cleveland a small block and if you look inside the ford racing catalog it is listed as a small block (again by ford) and look up the early mustangs as they will be listed as a small block option. Ford is and was the maker of the engine and they called it a small block.......So small block it is.

*Compression ratios listed are from Ford literature and are theoretic figures that exclude deck volume and head gasket displacement. Most published compression ratios are approximately 9% higher than actual.



When engines are rebuilt with composition head gaskets deduct about 12% for actual compression.



Do to the thinness of the deck surface of some Y-Block heads, particularly the ECZ-G heads, it is recommended that unposted heads not be milled more than .025". Posted heads have been milled up to .045" without trouble.



Heads with large "S" in between center exhaust valves are service replacement heads as date codes are after production run.

Re: i dont kow if this belongs here or not ......

Post by whisperer »

The 351C (335 series) is and has always been a small block. It shares all the major specs with the Windsor small block series and nothing whatsoever with either big block series (either the FE or 385 series).
Where people get into trouble here is to assume that because the 351M (Michigan, not modified) and 400M engines used a big block sized bellhousing that makes it a big block. It doesn't. Those are small blocks with a big block bellhousing.
What designates small block or big block is not the arbitrary bulk of the block, or "it just looks bigger", or cubic inches. The windsor series small block from 221-351W and the 335 series C or M from 302 (australian) - 400 all use the same bore spacing, crank bearing spacing, head bolt pattern, camshaft interchangeability, cam to crank centerline, etc.
There were only a few actual 351C engines that used the big block bellhousing, built in the last years of 351C production. The term "mid block" has been used in the description of 351C (the few) and 351M, and the 400M which carry the 385 series bellhousing size. The "mid" does not refer to "middle" (in between the size of a small or big block), it is most likely derived from "Midland", the factory in which they were supposedly made. This is incorrect! The M refers to Michigan Casting Center where all M blocks were cast after 1975. Ford never even had a Midland engine plant.
