351 Cleveland Super Stock Foxbody Mustang goes Wheels-Up!!!

[@rono3045]

back in the seventies and eighties the 351 c was the one motor the Chevy boys feared in super stock class

[@CoyoteFTW]

Feared more than that factored the Ford 429 out of existence too carry as much or more weight than Cleveland’ powered cars

[@ricardocorbie6803]

And still do!!😎

[@badass6.0powerstroke10]

Especially Bob Glidden built Clevelands ! Dominated Pro Stock back in the day !

[@davescbradiorepair8195]

Yes they did look at what Bob Glidden did with it he destroyed a sea of chevys.

[@jeffschwartz5199]

And , that's why I just had one built😊😅, cause I want to go fast 😊

[@davescbradiorepair8195]

Love the Clevelands been running them for years. Best small block on the planet.

Cleveland Rocks! I have a 73 Cougar convertible with 351C that ran best time of 12.25 in the 90s. Built a 393 Cleveland with Chi heads for my 76 Mustang ll that runs in the 9s at MIR track in Budds Creek MD.

[@gteefxr3094]

Budds Creek. 🏁👍

[@taterkuhn5048]

My Pro Stick car is broke so I rode down to the last Pro Stick race at Budds Creek last week with a fellow racer. Wish that place was closer North.

[@sombra6153]

351C in a Fox body. Should have been a factory option. Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords was the best all-round HiPo Ford publication that ever rolled off a printing press. Great car, great presentation (as usual)!

[@alexcorona]

The Cleveland was already discontinued by the time the foxbody came out. The last year of the 351C was 1974, 5 years before the foxbody came out.

Thanks Evan, love that combo. The Clevos rule down here in Australia…Best old school pushrod Ford V8 ever made.It’s the one engine all the LS guys fear…

I am a Chevy man. But this is a super cool car. And i love that it has the Cleveland engine.

351 Cleveland, my favorite engine!!!

[@keithcalitri840]

Back in high school in mid 80s my buddy had a 70 cougar XR7 with a Cleveland in it the Chevy boys didn’t want any of that car. Car was beautiful and was so fast for what us young broke kids could get ahold of

[@jackflash6377]

More great content! Thank you. 351C has always been one of my favorite FORD engines. Had a 59 pickup with a 351C in it. Loved the sound and the power.

[@fordtechlife]

Had a 69 mercury cougar bought it with a blown motor 351w my first car Basket case built a 351c with 4v heads to put in it car was a beast and i was hooked on fords for life after that 🔧🚗🦊🐎👊🇺🇸💪

[@alexcorona]

The Cleveland is a monster of an engine, it’s basically a small block with big block heads.

[@machdaddy6451]

I ended up here after watching your episode about "Bill Hawk's 1967 GT500". Another great Mustang guy story!

[@dsgp7835]

On a raIl, driving with his right hand in his lap, amazing.

[@taterkuhn5048]

Cool video. Cleveland’s Rock! I’ve had a few Cleveland’s in my Fox thru the years with Auto/Manual Transmission’s and the fun factor shifting a Cleve at 7,900 with an in-line Long shifter thru a G-Force trans with a 9” with 5.13 gears is a sweet feeling!! Currently running a Dart block 427” Weesor combo but I’ve been collecting parts for another high fun factor Cleveland combo in the future. Keep the videos coming! I love watching them.

[@billyrice9711]

Those old cleavends was a beast! Had a LTD 2 with a cleavend ❤

8 hours away an in another country but Maple Grove is still my favorite track.

[@culbycars]

Got a 408 cleveland in my cobra mild build right now but working on my other one with CHI heads lots more compression and lots more cam got to feed the cleveland it gets it done now so surely with the new build its hang on time even more.

[@keithclark3079]

A Cleveland fox, nice!!!!!! Hope to see more on the Shelby cars you briefly showed. Thanks Evan

[@rogerrabbito4517]

The Cleveland is a special, and mostly overlooked, BEAST of an, engine. I owned several through the years. Absolutely one of Fords best.

[@jonathansouza6549]

Love to see the budget builds great job !!

[@mikecurtis2585]

Love those Cleveland's! Strong running engine!!!!

[@factorvracing]

The 351 Cleveland 4 barrel engine has 2.19 big block valves and was outlawed for NASCAR because the engine flowed too much air. NASCAR required the 2.08 small block intakes to race. Best Ford engine ever. Semi-Hemi.

[@imtheonevanhalen1557]

No, you're thinking Boss 429.....Cleveland was a wedge head

[@factorvracing]

@@imtheonevanhalen1557 I am thinking of a canted valve head such as the 351 Cleveland head. Thus a 2.19 intake valve from a big block Ford fits into the combustion chamber and is not a wedge head. A hemispherical combustion chamber is a combustion chamber in the cylinder head of an internal combustion engine with a domed "hemispheric" shape. An engine featuring this type of hemispherical chamber is known as a hemi engine. In practice, shapes less than a full hemisphere are typically employed, as are variations of a true hemispheric profile. Hemispheric's do not need a spark plug in the center of the combustion chamber like the 426 Dodge Hemi. The Boss 429 runs a spark plug in the top or side of the center in the combustion chamber. S.O.H.C. motors ran a top mounted spark plug. The 427 Ford SOHC semi ran upper plugs. All were canted and semi sale combustion chambers. I ran a 1971 Ford Torino station wagon in NHRA for years and was considered a semi and not a wedge. My engine was a 351 4v with closed chamber heads, similar to the Pantera engine.

[@terraboundmisfit]

Killer car and vid! Does not get much closer to stock than that. Complete with Motorcraft spread bore carburetor. Impressive!!!

[@dougpendleton1266]

Love those custom tall valve covers, almost makes a 385 series look small!!

[@600wheel]

Thank you having I had an 88 Saleen at the age of 18 and 1990 I’ve absolutely loved fox mustangs my whole life put 50 grand in the red one you see for my avatar very very very little it was in bodywork. She’s a grip/street, full interior beast. Like I said I love them

You lkept the right one. Had an 85 with a 460/C6 in the late 90s..car was a blast but not smoggable anymore in Ca...and couldnt keep it cool no matter what. Not enough grille opening

@@revanevan awesome thank you 👍

[@duaneeiskant]

Kooks headers are what I’m using with the performance welding merge collector. Can have them off in about 15 minutes, once you know the order on how they go in the car. The small valve head is plenty the bore and stroke. They actually flow well and have better velocity.

[@taterkuhn5048]

Fwiw, the D&D Ford Specialty place in Pa used to offer swap headers that fit great and we’re user friendly with install/remove. The Hedman swap headers are ok once you cut the flanges to install two at a time.

With 4.88 geats, it'll trap at 6800 rpm at 125 mph with 30 inch tires, so I'm guessin' 5.14s.

Just want to double check he said it was a 280 hp advertise but isn’t it a 266 hp engine because there is no 280 hp advertise 351 cleveland for 1973 for a gt car.Can you double check that.
