Lower price on cyclone to $1800 and dart is now in etching primer mostly...have not however welded in any new metal yet...please I need the space...may be willing to part out dart....
 
Not being a ford guy I cannot be certain but it has the bigger plugs so I was told that makes it a cleveland, but the numbers don't say either way onlly that it is a two barrel low compression 351...


On a side note I am open to trades...as well

I have a very rare 1979 Dodge St Regis if anyone is interested and it is mint, both in condition and color...only problem needs bumper fillers...which I can't find anywhere....they were removed when car was painted...but body shop could not find replacements...car also got new top....car has 318....
 
The Cleveland didn't come out till 1970. Also if it has the larger plugs that uses a 13/16 socket, it is a Windsor.
 
As a true Ford guy(who just happens to really like A-body Mopars),I can say that what SGB stated first is 100% fact.He never stated that ALL 351W have big plugs...just that 351C have small plugs.You may have seen a Windsor with small plugs,but you will never see a Cleveland with big plugs.Also 70-74 model year cars are the ONLY Ford products that came with a true Cleveland...period.A 1969 Mustang w/ a 351C had a motor swap.Its an easy swap because the W and C share the same bellhousing pattern,so its not uncommon at all.
As far as not caring if its a C or W,you should really find out.You may not care,but whoever buys it most likely will.The C is like the ugly duckling of Ford motors.Its a diamond to some and a boat anchor to others.Im a Cleveland guy who has almost no interest in a Windsor car,but small-block guys have no interest in a Cleveland.
Sorry to clog up your Mopar board with Ford ramblings,but Im just trying to get you some info so you can list it right and sell it quicker.That car should sell pretty fast if you list it right.....and maybe not on a Mopar Forum ;)

Don't know but assume there is.

I was more interested in your pre-edited post ... with all due respect, with an attitude like that (especially as a seller, and a new member at that), you'd be more than welcome to be excused from any online forum. Don't let the door hit ya on the a$$ on your way out.

Just my two cents. That's not the way we operate around here. Good luck with your sale.
 
OK kids, before I'm forced to edit this thread to the high heavens, lets calm down
 
Hey just trying to sell cars, not cause any debates...people should probably keep comments to themselves unless asked...in a proper forum. I removed my comments to be civil...I really don't get on internet enough to argue with anyone, as I actually race/drive my cars...in the real world...
 
Hey I learned how to cut and paste from the internet too...
IDENTIFYING 351 WINDSOR AND 351 CLEVELAND ENGINES
We receive many phone calls from classic Mustang enthusiasts inquiring if the engine in their 1969 or 1970 Mustang or the 1969 or 1970 Mustang they are contemplating purchasing is a 351 V-8 Windsor or a 351 V-8 Cleveland. First of all, virtually all 1969 351 V-8 engines were Windsors and virtually all 1970 351 V-8 engines were Clevelands. There are a few exceptions. Over the years we have seen a few 1969 Mustangs with factory installed Cleveland engines. By checking the build dates of these Cleveland 1969?s we found that in every case these Mustangs were produced in the last week or two of 1969 production when perhaps the factory ran out of Windsor engines. Conversely, we have also seen very early production 1970 Mustangs equipped with 351 V-8 Windsor engines. Again, perhaps the producing factory was using up their supply of Windsor engines before beginning Cleveland engine production. In either case we have found these to be very rare occurrences.

I'll add that a 351C into a '68 Mustang is a pretty tight swap, but boy will it smoke the tires:-D
