Nothing in that article about the 1974 thru ~1980 continued production in Australia... with the benefit of hindsight its a pity ford had not wised up way back in 1969 and picked out the best features of the 351w vs 351c and got it right way back then... would have saved a lot of agro from the Bow Tie brigade.

That was a good article...takes me back to my '71 Mach 1. It was a 4v car with a Ram Air hood and was pretty strong, particularly above 3000 rpm. Big mufflers and pipes gave it a beautiful exhaust note. Terrible visibility out the rear window. I have a Windsor now, but I still remember that Cleveland.

There is, of course, the "Clevor" option...Cleveland style heads with a Windsor block, thereby offering the benefits of the canted valve design and the priority main oiling routing of the Windsor design...but that combination can be tricky with the valve-train geometry.

The Boss 302 was a splendid example...but in my dream world the combination would be an alloy aftermarket 4-bolt main 351W block stroked to 427 CID (a common build) with the alloy CHI Cleveland style heads...best of both worlds!!

Cheers!!

Doug
