A Look At Trick Flow's New Power Port Heads For The 351 Cleveland (http://www.mustangandfords.com/techarticles/engine/mdmp_1008_trick_flows_power_port_heads_351_clevela nd_engine/index.html)Tech | Custom Engine Build
Over in the Ford camp, they watched with great interest as the new 396 Daytona Mystery Motor from Chevrolet was introduced in 1965. The very successful engine featured a splayed-valve arrangement, which offered improved flow potential when compared to a conventional inline valve configuration. Partly in response to this successful GM offering, Ford introduced the 335-series 351 Cleveland engine for the 1970 model year. Produced from 1970 to 1974, the Ford 351 Cleveland has earned a reputation as one of the Blue Oval's best V-8 engines. Ford designed the 351 Cleveland as a "mid-block" engine option for passenger cars. It made more power than the 289-302-351 Windsor small-blocks, but used the same engine mount locations and bell housing pattern. The Cleveland engines were lighter and more compact than the FE and 385-series (429/460) big-blocks. The Cleveland's cylinder heads offered a canted-valve arrangement similar to the big-block Chevy. This allowed the use of larger valves and ports to increase airflow and power production from a relatively small cubic-inch package.
