Donor car 351 Cleveland

 

The guy working there said 1000 is possibly what he will let it go for.

 

It was a guy working there he has to check with jis boss tomorrow

 

That does not look like a Cleveland. The valves in a cleveland are angled



Besides Cleveland engines are weak and prone to breakage. The only good thing about them are the heads.

 

Oh wow thanks. Good deal man. Well then it's best if I keep searching. Thanks man. Glad I came here what about the Windsor?

 

What do you thing that engine was?

 

Inline valves tells me it's a windsor, but cant really tell if it's a 302 or 351 without knowing the casting numbers off the block, or how wide the intake is. All windsors have inline valves, all clevelands and modifieds have canted valves


Then you have the original Boss 302. It was a 302 windsor block, with cleveland heads, and a special intake to make it all work. It was called a clevor engine

 

Where can I find the casting numbers?

 

And btw it had gas mixed in the oil too

 

The casting numbers are on the block are behind the starter. You have to remove the starter to see them. You will see numbers that look like this C90E-8015b. Another thing 351 clevelands do not have the upper radiator hose going to the intake, It goes directly to the engine block. and they were only made between 1970-74. Only reason I know all this, is because I spent 4 years finding parts to build a Boss 302 to go into my old car. Only to have to sell it, when all I needed for it was a 4 barrel throttle body, and valve covers.

 

Great information thanks man.

 

Ok so do y'all think this is a great donor car? Not only that but it actually drives too

 

Not only that but what rear ends are compatible to my 2000?

 

I'm doubting this car the guy is trying to **** hard to get rid of it. The place it's at us a wrecker place.

 

Have a feeling I'm being scammed.

 

You are, first he was trying to tell you the engine was a cleveland when it clearly is not

 

Correct. Thanks to you I wouldn't have even thought to do my research in my book that I have

 

There is controversy whether or not my transmission will work or not...

Would this be a smart upgrade?

That's the wrong k member, you need the one for 79-95. Tubular k members are best for drag racing, or if you plan on running a huge set of long tubes.
