Had one just like it in 80, ran the hell out of it . Hit a telephone pole, knocked a travel trailer over then finally ran it into the local mortuary and went through windshield. Paper boy found me almost frozen it was below zero that car was bad luck.

@mcgaugh57 haha maybe it just had a bad driver..

[mcgaugh57]

@smokin71 I can see why you would think that. But it's the only car I have ever wrecked. And I have owned many muscle cars.

[smokin71]

@mcgaugh57 well that's good, there's not enough of them left!

[smokin71]

It has the 351 Cleveland in it...there's the huge debate on whether it's a big or small block. talking about displacement it's a small block, same size as a 351 Windsor which is regarded as a small block, but it has the characteristics of a big block including interchangeable distributors.

[Tidermans]

Ain't no burnout complete with a "HECK YEAH" :D

[TheDb351c]

The 351 Cleveland is NOT a big block, it is not in the 90 degree small block family, but it is in the 335 series of ford SMALL blocks -- Get your fucking facts straight

[kkmart43]

351 Cleveland's were dimensionally close to a 350 chevy internally look up the specs 3.5 stoke 4.0 bore the rods are close to 5.7 inches long and the blocks are close to the same size but the heads are quite a bit bigger and the crank is heavier and a little bigger not much though, this engine is smaller than a 351 Windsor and makes better power and sounds better. they did make small block c6 transmissions, you will find them in mustangs and torinos. personally I liked the c4 better for a car.

[smokin71]

@WKoalaS Thanks man, the 72's are nice. I don't care much for the gran torinos but the 72s are still pretty sexy

[mw70gt]

@ltd429 Exacfly right 70/71s are totally different from 72 on 70/71s are unibody cars and 72 and up are full frame cars a 72 is a 72 is a 72. They were not changed in the middle of the year!

[mw70gt]

@ericlarsen Ford C6 transmissions do not have a removable bellhousing they are either a small block version for 351 or a big block version for a 429 I have owned both. And yes 351 cleaveland Torinos did come with C6 trannys from the factory not all but they were available.

[dwt56]

I always out ran the boys that had Windsors with my 71 cleveland

[ericlarsen]

Clevelands are NOT big or small blocks. The are a 335 designation. They are kind of a mid block. The 351 Cleveland didnt run a c6....they were a small block bellhousing so they could only run a c4 unless you convert over a C6 with the bh.

The M' or modified clevelands all were the C6 auto.

Not small or big...they are their own block........so are the M's.

@smokin71 351c's are BIg Blocks because of the water pump and head design.

[ltd429]

@coolstuf12345 cool i really want to see it and we all know that ford was big on the half-year changes

[coolstuf12345]

@ltd429 actually they are very much the same in looks but diff years see in 72 the torino you see all the time is the gran torino with the ovell grill but mine was the very first 72 befor they changed the look of it in the middle of the year 1972 ill show you let me get a vid ill send it to you

[ltd429]

@coolstuf12345 i would like to see your video because im a little confused about what you said because a 72 is completely different from 70/71

[coolstuf12345]

you know the made a 72 torino with a very similar front its a very very rare car one of the most rarest ford cars and im a proud owner of one if you would like to see it i will make a small vid on it im about to start on it in a few weeks its in pretty rough shape what also makes it very rare is its a 302 3 speed on the colum and it was order with GT interior but its not GT plus its 2 door with single seats instead of a binch seat most 3 speed had bench seat this is a very odd ball. love the vid

[TheFordshaker]

351c is considered a big block because it has a 9.5 deck height,a351w has a 9.2 deck height same as the standard 302,the 351m has a 400 block with cleavland rotating assembly,

[RDNCKRAM]

hey i got the same car i also got side pipes but no lazer stripe and i got a cobra grill and the scoope is painted black
