🥝✔️. Nice work. Ford had running changes, like deleting the quoted 2.23" Boss intake valves for 2.19" valves shared with the M code. The ratification of the Clean Air Act ment the M code was in a different state of tune to the 1969 Windsor 351 4V M code. The Cleveland 4V had an air pump on some versions, like the Boss 302 did in some destination states. None of those variances were catalogued by Ford in terms of a differing horsepower and torque output. The Distrovac ignition advance control was found on some cars, not others. FoMoCo suddenly had a lot of emissions related tune issues that weren't covered with a different hp or lb-ft rating. And even compression ratios varied...some early M's were quoted as 11:1, while 10.7:1 was the later figure.
@denstevenson6527, thank you for your kind words - I'm so glad that you enjoyed video #31! Please be sure to check out videos #31, 32 & 32 which are Parts 2, 3 & 4 in this four-part video series. Running changes were absolutely a part of the normal business at Ford back then, and it was the same thing when I was fortunate enough to work for them from 2013-16. Thanks for watching, Dean. Yours in old FoMoCo iron, Adrian
What a wonderful video full of great information! These videos bring back memories of my youth and possibly the most carefree times of my life. I notice that during the section concerning the 351 Cleveland 2v engine you constantly refer to this engine as being brand new for 1970. I think that you are mistaken about 1970 being the first year for that engine. My father purchased a brand new 1969 Ford LTD Brougham 2 door with a 351 Cleveland 2v engine. A high school buddy's father purchased a new 1970 Ford LTD, but this car had a 351 Windsor 2v engine. My father's car would beat the snot out of my buddies dad's car every time. I would agree with you that the power of the Cleveland 351 engine had to be greater than the Windsor 351. The performance difference between the two vehicles was astonishing! I would love to show you the car as evidence of my claim. Unfortunately I totalled that car in the winter of 1972. But my high school buddy is still alive and could attest to my claim. Thanks again for the great videos that you have been creating for our employment.
I remember my Uncle buying a 1970 Galaxie 500 4 door sedan. It was aquamarine with a black vinyl roof, and interior. I don't remember what it had. I do remember it did have a V-8. He had bought it off the lot. This wasn't what he had intended to buy. He was going to trade his 1967 Plymouth Fury III in on a 1970. But the dealer was more interested in talking on the phone about fishing. So he went to the Ford dealer. He hated the Galaxie. He could only start the car in neutral. Anyone else it would start in park. He did trade it in 1973 on a LTD.
Super interesting series here on the engine specs. Again the codes on some of these engines is not easily understood by us lay folk. The specification, which you addressed, is how the 351 Windsor and the 351 Cleveland ratings power ratings could be equal. Your explanation on this precise and understandable. A job well done, sir.
@DSP1968, excellent - I'm glad you found a favourite among videos #30, 31, 32 & 33! Thank you as always for watching, Dennis. Yours in old FoMoCo iron, Adrian
@davebodi, not yet. If this series of four videos on the 26 engines in the 1970 FoMoCo passenger car vehicle lines is well received I will make more of them for different model years. Yours in old FoMoCo iron, Adrian
@Thepigfromthepot, I have only ever seen the "Windsor" designation applied to the some of the H-code 351-2V and the 1969 M-code 351-4V engines. Per the information I presented in the video, of the six small V-8s covered only the H-code 351W-2V was produced at the FoMoCo engine plant in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. Thank you for watching, Matthew. Yours in old FoMoCo iron, Adrian
Ok cheers I'm in Australia and was of the opinion they didn't use Clevelands in the car line up only the trucks i love these videos and learning new things

So many more engine choices and options than we see from the cookie cutter car manufacturers nowadays.
Woohoo, back in '81 I had an F code 302 V8 that Kicked Out the L code 250 I6 in my Aussie Falcon !!

So what is the difference in the police, taxi engines, beefier block?
My favorite of these episodes, Adrian, as I seem to have had more cars with these V-8s than any others.

I had a 1972 Gran Torino Sport with engine code Q 351 CJ. Drove it for several years and sadly sold it in the early 90s.
Cool
Do you have this for 1972 ?
@davebodi, not yet. If this series of four videos on the 26 engines in the 1970 FoMoCo passenger car vehicle lines is well received I will make more of them for different model years.

I assume these are all Winsor engines?
No they are not.

@@adrianclements8916 All Ford small block V8 engines are Windsor (W) engines. (C) V8 engines are medium block engines.
