Ford 351 Cleveland Engines - How to Build for Max Performance

Ford's 351 Cleveland was introduced in late 1969 for the 1970 model year as a mid-sized V-8 designed for high performance. It became a key engine in Ford Mustangs and other performance cars, improving on the cylinder head airflow limitations of the earlier Windsor engines.

This book details the history and variations of the 351 Cleveland, as well as the related 351M and 400M engines. It includes specifications, basic dimensions, and guidance for identifying design differences and casting numbers. Strengths and potential issues for each engine are also described.

Focused on performance, the book presents traditional power-enhancing techniques and methods to improve efficiency for these engines. With the availability of quality aftermarket parts, particularly cylinder heads, the 351 Cleveland, 351M, and 400M are now excellent engines for street or competition builds.

Comprehensive instructions guide the reader through all aspects of building a high-performance engine based on the 351 Cleveland platform.

How to Build Supercharged & Turbocharged Small-Block Fords

Superchargers and turbochargers have been used for over a century, prized for their power, performance, sound, and status. This book examines how these systems enhance the performance of Ford small-block V8 engines, including the 289-302, 351 Windsor, 351 Cleveland, and 4.6L/5.4L modular engines.

While Ford experimented with supercharging and turbocharging on production cars as early as 1957 with the Thunderbird, and later with Shelbys and over-the-counter kits, the modern aftermarket has driven the real advances. The Fox Mustang platform, introduced in 1979 and later featuring fuel injection in 1986, enabled higher boost levels, creating fast and affordable performance vehicles.

This guide covers supercharger and turbocharger systems from leading manufacturers such as Paxton, Vortech, Pro-Charger, Garrett-AirResearch, and Power Dyne, including traditional Roots-style setups. It provides complete information for boosting the performance of your Ford small-block engine.
