Is a 350 Cleveland engine from either '72 or '74 worth keeping?

Question

My son has dragged this engine with us everywhere.

Answer 1

dougs got it all wrong 351 clevland was a big block 351 windsor was a small block and was interchangable with the 302. If it runs or rebuildable yes its a keeper. put her in a stang or cyclone and hang on.

Answer 2

the 351 *cleveland* is a ford small block, with as much bore they could muster, the next size up would be the 351 winsor, which is a big block. What's great about your particular engine, is it isn't especially cluttered with emission devises, computer assisted things, and an average do-it-yourself-er can fix it in the garage with a standard set of tools! When you ask a motor preference question, you'll get as many answers as there are days in a year, but generally, the cleveland is a powerful V-8 engine, still small enough to fit in a large number of engine compartments, and yours is from the much adored 70's *muscle-car* decade. you bet it's worth keeping, but having the engine is only the start, and is worth as much or as little as you put into it.

Answer 3

The cleveland motor is worth keeping, its the bigger brother of the windsor (which is a small block NOT a big block) and if he wanted to sell it he would get more money since that what most stang owners want (thats what I put in my 67 stang)

Answer 4

Eww.......That was durring the begining of the unleaded gas and emissions craze. Low compression, and Ford. Yuck

Now a 1966 Chevy 327, that's a keeper.

Sorry... I'm a Chevy guy.

Answer 5

that would be a 351 cleveland. if it's a real cleveland, and not a modified or windsor, then yes. that is, IF you can get junior to get off his butt & find the right body to put it in.

Answer 6

any engine worth keeping have you priced a engine lately
