Supercharged 351C Cleveland Build - Clevelands Rock

Supercharged 5.0Ls are a dime a dozen, but how often do you lift the hood of a mustang and spot a supercharged 351 Cleveland?Ford's Modular engine program is in full swing and getting more than its fair share of press thanks to the recent introduction of the new four-valve (4V), 5.0L Coyote engine. The Coyote is an impressive piece, capable of exceeding 400 hp right off the showroom floor, and considerably more in modified trim. It is plenty powerful, but the modular engine isn't the first Ford to wear the 4V designation. Applied to the Cleveland family back in 1970, the famous Cleveland family lasted only to 1974, but continued on in spirit somewhat in the 351/400M engines through 1982. In terms of factory performance, the 351 Cleveland was the high-water mark for small-block performance. In fact, it wasn't until the recent introduction of the 4V Coyote engine that Ford eventually eclipsed the (normally aspirated) power output of the original 351 Cleveland (in '71 Boss22 351 guise). Rated at just 330 hp, the Cleveland-headed 351 was every bit as underrated as the previous Boss 302.
