nice choice on the 351, is it a windsor or Cleveland. I have a built cleveland in my 72 mach 1 and it is a powerhouse, its doin over 400hp

**boostedzx3** · 05-24-2008, 05:50 PM

It's a windsor so it's not as much of a powerhouse but a few bolt ons can fix that.

**iceberg65** · 05-24-2008, 06:39 PM

ya i thought it looked like a winsor, the oil dipstick is in a different place on the cleveland. They are not easy to come by compared to a winsor. with the right amount of work they can make similiar numbers, the heads are what made most of the power for the cleveland, my exhaust valves are almost the size of the bottom of a beer can.

my dads got a 69 stang with a cleveland swapped in, I love that car.

Yea this was the original motor that came in the car so it's just making it right. I beleive it was the only year to see a 4 barrel on the windsor in a mustang.

**Jlongoria9** · 05-24-2008, 10:55 PM

so far so good

bumping for motor ready for paint, pics at first post.

**boostedzx3** · 05-30-2008, 11:02 PM

bump for motor almost ready to be in.

**boostedzx3** · 05-31-2008, 09:34 PM

o and check post #1 to look at the motor in the car and see the carnage of piston #5 in the 302

**Dubzilla** · 06-01-2008, 05:31 PM

so what are you doing with the truck?

**boostedzx3** · 06-01-2008, 06:53 PM

I guess selling it for a few hundred bucks after I get the title work done on it. I mean it's a still very usable 4x4 and everything was working fine on it not to mention no rust holes.

**boostedzx3** · 06-15-2008, 05:15 PM

Updated for done!

**DFF** · 06-15-2008, 06:34 PM

The 'Stang is a beast. Nice work.

**boostedzx3** · 06-15-2008, 09:21 PM

thanks^ I've been around racing all my life and helped out on a sprint car when I was a little younger, honestly this car is just as loud as the sprint car I need some serious mufflers.

**SVTADAM** · 06-15-2008, 10:21 PM

Nice stang. Good job on the engine refresh. So what kind of power mods are you planning for the 351? I used to have a wish list for my truck. Never got there though.

**boostedzx3** · 06-16-2008, 04:20 PM

^nothing much as of now anyway
