- As you guys know I am kind of partial to my Ford cars and engines. And although I have built and raced several different engine platforms over the years I have never had a 335 series 351 Cleveland engine. Now these are getting pretty rare to find as they only produced them in the US for a mere 4 years. They were the most powerful small block V8 produced during the muscle car era and the 2 I bought actually came out of super rare DeTomaso Pantera super cars! Can't wait to build these and install them in some awesome Ford.

Looks like Wawas bug is getting a engine swap😂😂😂
They LS swap 911s...why not a beetle... Kinda like bolting the wheels to the block itself...
I seen a Bug with a 454 in it, so why not? 😁
I've seen a bug with a 302 stuffed in the front
I've seen a bug with a 383 Mopar in it that could be steered with the throttle but her bug will be just fine for now with it's own engine ..up grades can come after she has her licence and driving experience
That’s the best idea ever
Congratulations Josh !!!
You hit the jackpot!!!
Here in Australia the 4V closed chamber heads are the holy grail !!!
Look at the crank shafts and look for 4ma cast into crank
They are the best cranks
We had a falcon here in Australia in 1971 that was a GTHO
There were only 300 built
They were the fastest 4 door car on the planet for about 20 years…
All the parts you have there is what ford Australia used to produce the GTHO
These cars were about 425 hp straight from the factory
Look em up on CZcams!!!
Great find
Cheers from Australia!!!
Cleveland's are awesome, My brother had a 71 Cougar xr-7 with just a 2 barrel Cleveland that outran everything in town, you could stomp on it from a dead stop and it would fry the tires through all 3 gears and barely move. I can't imagine what the 4 barrel version would do.
I drive a semi 3800+ miles/week, once she gets in the car, I can’t drive across the street without her help😂😂😂 And a roundabout totally confuses her😂😂😂
The V on those heads stands for Venturi. A Venturi is like a tube but gets narrower in the middle. This narrow section increases the air velocity which in creases the vacuum to draw fuel out of the float bowls on the carbs. `
A scientific word than barrel.
Thanks for the info...:)
Lol.. Some of these youngsters never heard that before! Your explanation was spot on! We learned that in school back in the 80's
You just have to love a Sleeperdude vid "mid-week" 😊
Love them anytime, I watch reruns in-between
Sure do.
I'm already 3/4 through watching this one twice. =)
Amen! That made my day!
I hope you gave that dude another ’huge thanks’ for his big ❤️
👍👍👍
Score!!! Had a big smile on my face the entire video! You had just the right timing to be the first to hit that FBMP ad. You know what Ricky Bobby's daddy says, "If you ain't first, you're last!" 👍🏁
That’s right
@@sleeperdude2690 im glad you got 2 of me!!!😀
Now put the 4v in the Fairmont for power tour
Right on 👍
Man, I love this family . Keep uploading vids. It's awesome to see a family so interested in old cars.
now days in this twisted society its nice seeing a normal family🤣
@danhard8440 I hear ya, brother
Amen to that! Need more fams like these guys!
I know nothing about engines but Josh's excitement says it all. More than a kid in a candy store, more like a kid given a candy factory! He's actually breathless describing the pieces parts! Very fun to watch 😃
Thank you
There are a few Ford "holy grail" engines from the 60s & 70s: the Boss 302, Boss 429, 427 SOHC and the 351 Cleveland 4V
One of my all time favorite cars and motors. You have been saying that you wanted to build a 351C For quite awhile so now you are off to the races! How awesome is that.
"Marge" pickn up small block Fords...shes a Beast!!💪💪💪💪 luv you guys!!!
Two 351 Clevelands! 💪 Freaking awesome.
I OWNED A 70 TORINO, 351 CLEVELAND, 4 ON DA FLOOR.. WAS VERY QUICK
my 75 gran torino sport had a swapped 351 4V Cleve, gloss black w/Starsky stripe - dusted off all the hot rod B-bodys my friends had
Josh you truly hit the jackpot! Very happy for you. Good things come to those who wait, especially when they're a great as you and your wonderful family are.
Thank you
I helped my stepdad rebuild his 351 Cleveland for his 73 Mach 1. We did it back in the early 90s and that was a memory I could never forget. We will enjoy watching y’all build these. Maybe you will run across a late 60s Mach 1 and pick it up!
Econoline E-100 josh. Mount a Cleveland behind the cab (like the little red wagon). Make a gasser out of it. That would be so awesome 👍😎
I've had several a100 dodges and they are fun even with a little power in the stock location. The whole engine is still behind the axle!
If OP is tossing Ideas for the Econoline{a terrible vehicle, and I owned one when nearly new} then put in a Tesla drive train!
The 351 cleveland is a bulletproof motor. My 73 Mach1 has proven it for the 47+ plus years I’ve owned it. You’ll love it.
@sleeperdude2 every time I watch your show I'm beating myself up for wrecking my old 59 Ford f series pickup and my 70 Chevy Nova. Thank you for keeping the dream alive! We need more old car aficionados out there that rescue these old things and show people how to do it
Yeah for sure, thank you
My first vehicle was a 59 F100 with a 272 I believe. Wish I had kept it. I also later had a 76 Nova Concours with 305 that I rebuilt to use on my rural mail route.
@@gregoryblair9810 no way gregory! My 59 was an F100 with a 272 also!! And they all had three on the tree obviously! That's awesome
I have to ask "WHY" is this needed? You might as well ask people to restore steam engines and drive them. Gas cars are the past; the tech is nearly 200 yrs old, and has been technically obsolete for 40 yrs +or- . This writer knew most of these cars when they were new, and I hated every one of them. A driving lifetime of carrying a whole tool box and 'half a parts store' in the trunk of my car. WHY is that good?
@@gregoryblair9810 on second though I remember mine having a 292 in it. That was a long time ago
I had this happen in December. Got on marketplace there’s a 74 f100 listed an hour ago. Messaged and was first in line, went out and bought it the next morning. Good for you sleeperdude! This will be fun to watch get built.
Thank you
What You have To Do To a Chevy For All That:
348 crank in a 454 block for compression from the piston diameter, wide spacing between cylinders for cooling, shorter stroke for RPM, and canted valves for Hemi-like performance!
Sleeperdude bonus video life is good❤❤
Yup score. Assemble one engine as package. Then flip build other. One
@@user-ht1xu4gv2u no way you know he is keeping both🤣
i commented he should boost the 4 bolt main🤣
@@danhard8440 gotta get caps added and line bore. It
Back in the 70's and 80's those engines was the favorite for truck pulls. My mom had one in her 74 LTD.
:59 I have no idea what a 351 Cleveland is but I'm glad you finally got something you've always wanted, Mr. Sleeperdude.
4:43 What was that face you made, Wawa?! 😂
Man I love old Ford V8s, I can't wait to see you guys build this up!
I agree with you if it's a screaming deal and you know it... pay the man what he's asking ...it's the honourable thing to do..much respect Josh and your teaching the kids the proper way to treat people .........looking forward to whatever you build those engines for...Karl from eastern Canada
Josh this is The Video of the Century right here. This would be my Dream Video of my lifetime this is pure Ford Cleveland Gold mate I’m so sorry for blowing up the comments section. This couldn’t have happened to a more deserving family.
I don’t know what to say. I’m more excited than you are for this build. I’ve always wanted a 351 Cleveland. It’s gonna be fun I’ll be watching! What a score!
So cool
The 351C is my favorite motor of all time. I actually sold the last set of heads to a guy in Australia that worked for Ford over there. Ended up selling the block to a guy here locally. I can't wait to see what you do with these engines.
Just throwing this out there. But I think you have a black fairmont wagon begging for a Cleveland. 🤪
Gotta go in a wagon, just has too.
I just can't get over how excited the whole family is about car parts, except sqezzy of course. 😊
Panterra in a Beetle! Can’t wait!
That would be awesome
@@sleeperdude2690 need wheelie bars for sure 👍👍
DOOO ITTTT!!!!
What a wonderful score 👏 Cleveland heads and 2 blocks and a flood of extra parts, what you decide you can't or don't want to use you can trade for or sell 😀 to 💰 get what you want and need. You are truly loving it ❤️
That’s true thank you
He was organized for sure, the antithesis of Josh in that regards. Great find.
Luck was on your side seeing that market place ad! Great hoard of organized parts and rare stuff! So cool! Congratulations!
For sure
You hit the mother load!! I've had a couple Clevelands in early 70s Torino's. They were 4V motors and ran great. They were a tiny bit sluggish in low RPM but with a good stall it's not a problem. With a clutch pedal it'll be great. Can't wait to see where it goes!!
I just love the way Tosh talks Josh up. She sounds so excited everytime he gets excited. That’s a woman loving her man. I love my wife even more/feel closer when she’s into something that I’m into.
Ralphie , the v stands for venturi (barrel) . A 4 barrel has 4 venturi's . The venturi blend fuel/air and cause the air to speed up going past them . Class dismissed 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You had me thinking about my first car, a 1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport with a 351 Cleveland under the hood, i sure do miss it
And regardless of the weather, the sun shines on the 5 of you, how cool.
You hit a gold mine. Good deal.
That is an amazing find Josh, you scored big time with those 351C-4V heads, they are super hard to find.. Especially the closed chambers, to bad you didn't have that pair of the closed ones! Nice Job! I'm very eager to see the build on one of those.
Thank you, yeah that would have been nice
Blessed and Highly Favored. That's what I'm talkin about. John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
Thanks buddy
Welcome to the club , remember they not only like the rpm(we turned our race engine to 7900) they like a lot of gear(4..56-5.14). the v stands for venturi
AWE.........SOME!!!!!!!! So great to see you got your hands on the REAL DEAL BABY!!!! My brother had a 351 C when he was younger in the mid 1980's that was in a rusty Mach1. After that I never ran into another person with one. Always Windsor only. Excited to see what you're going to do with them!
That’s awesome. Thank you
Can't wait to see the engine build on the other channel
Thank you
When I got my drivers license in 1976 my mom had a 1972 Ford Torino 500 (the 500 was the number of times I did a massive burnout !). Sadly it was a four door but it was fast. My poor parents probably dipped into my college fund to pay to replace the rear right tire multiple times. Love your show.
I have that excat same motor since the late 80's D1AE 4 bolt mains and 40 thou original! Welcome to the club.
Awesome
@@sleeperdude2690 Awsome for you brother! You have a ton of Narly 351c parts! Mine came with a C6 and the motor and trany came from a 1971 Police interceptor that was wrecked in early 1972 and the police man that wrecked it bought it and stored with thoughts of restoring it one day, but sadly he passed away before that happened and we bought that car from his widow and my buddy took the suspension and stuffed that along with 406 tri power in his 67 falcon and i kept the engine and c6. I think about stuffing in my 69 XR7.... Anywho my newest bucket list item is to hopefully some day meet you in person and total dream to twist some wrenchs with you and your totaly awsome Family!! P/S love the merch!
Can't wait to see one or both of these engines built. I bet they will be fun.
The pinto would really be a ripper with one!
They have 302 Cleveland’s in Australia. It’s pretty cool. First 351 Cleveland I ever owned was swapped into an 84 short bed regular cab 2X4 Ranger when I was 17. 😁 I had so much fun blowing tires off in that truck, but it wasn’t practical at all and I had to adult unfortunately🙄 so I sold it.
i live near where they used to make the ranger back in the day
Yeah we had both 302C and 351C. We built them locally and i believe the heads were different for better flow including 3V heads
The 302 Cleveland in Australia was built off the 351 just with a 3inch stroked crank and different rods
They typically had 2v heads on them and the closed chamber heads
WHOO WHOO!!! That's a great deal! Glad to know you finally got the engine you were wanting! I got a car with the engine I WANTED! The Buick 3800!!! The 2000 LeSabre is nealy like new! We're both happy! From me here at Thrif-T body & paint in Wyomin'! Love ya'll!
SCORE!! Man that was a treasure trove of Ford parts. Those 4v heads are worth bucks.
Dang Bro.. You Scored BIG !! Love It !!
So happy for you to finally get a 351 Cleveland. Can't wait to see what y'all do with it. I rode in a Pantera back in 84/85 and will never forget it. One of my favorite dream Ford's.
So cool
Flock of seagulls/Dennis the menace haircut “with the back shaved” of course.
Thong flip flops, & BIBS????? I’m speechless….
I’m sorry I can’t hold it anymore.
WOW!! Awesome haul. I'm seriously jealous.
Great haul...looks like a great score. Market place pays off now and again...so happy you got your 351 C blocks and parts. Be great to see a build from start to finish. Appreciate you sharing your amazing adventure with us.😎👨🔧😴🚙😇🙏
Good Afternoon Family , I hope you are doing well and having a fantastic day today 😊 !
Josh hit the LOTTO. ITS LIKE CHRISTMAS FOR HIM. 😁
I'm sick. I really appreciate you dropping a video while I'm a captive audience.
I have a 73 Ranchero with a 351 Cleveland got it when my uncle passed. I have been waiting for someone to get in-depth so I can finally get mine done.
Build yourself a Cleveland headed Windsor or you could come up with a boss motor that would be a good build for the channel. I built one years ago using D1 AE,J Block parts.
That’s an awesome deal, if anyone can put it to good use it’s you guys.
I can’t wait until you start building an engine.
I can't wait to see the build for one of these.
Me to
@@sleeperdude2690 We're a demanding lot 😄
HOT DANG you just hit a gold mine! Enjoyed watching and riding along with y'all!
Families that lift blocks together ... 😃
That’s right
Enjoyed the picture show 😊
Thank you
I put a 351 Cleveland in my 1964 Falcon. It fit !! Drove it for 3 years!! Jerry in Buckeye Az
You absolutely hit the jackpot! Can't wait to see what project is going to get one of these engines.
Wow, what a FANTASTIC deal! Can't wait to see you build it and see which vehicle is the lucky recipient! I'm happy you got some really nice parts.
You hit the motherload! I can't wait to see both get built.
My first car was a '71 cougar w/351C. I kept the engine and trans for years after a friend wrecked the car. Over time, I collected enough stuff for that engine, enough to build a pro-stock motor, even though the block was a two bolt main, I still wanted to build it for the street. My wife passed away 11 years ago, and finally lost interest in building the engine and sold all my 351 parts. I couldn't believe how fast it all sold, but now they were collector items and I made quite a profit out all of those engine parts.. So, all I can say is, I'm envious of your find and good luck to ya.
My dad had a LTD back in the day. It was powder blue and we spray painted black. He and my sister were out on Tennessee back roads and they jumped a hill. And the battery hit the frame and shorted everything out.
Oh wow
351 mother load.... SWEET!!!!! I had a 72 4 door Torino with a 351 cleveland paid $600 back in the late 70's. Bought it California and drove it back to Michigan where I live, still wish I had it!!!! it was a very nice sleeper of a dude car....
That's like all your birthdays and Christmases coming at you at once. ☺️ What a haul!! Congratulations!! I think a street/strip build would be cool. Can't wait to see your plans, Josh.
I cannot WAIT to see a 351c build. 🤘👍💪
And Ralphy 4V the V stands for Venturi. Venturi just like your Dad said just means Barrels I have heard all kind of crazy things but that it.
so happy for you. you found a gold mine there Josh. my brother - n- law has had a 351 Cleveland on a engine stand ready to drop in what ever. he will not part with it. he knows what he has. good for you buddy. happy for ya. do not let any of what you just bought leave your hands
Thank you
Holy Schmoley. . . you hit the honey pot for sure! Good one!
Thanks 👍
Sweet haul! Wa was trying to help. It didn’t go unnoticed. Nice job! Now put something together.
That's a great score! I love my Cleveland. Josh, I use the Australian 2V 302 Cleveland closed chamber heads with 2.19 and 1.71 valves.
The "pony at the fair" made me laugh out loud. I had one of those. Put her in any fenced area, get on, lead her around, end up the place you started, get off, get back on, lead her the same places, get off at the starting place and she'd repeat that no matter what you did. She'd walk the same path and you had to get off every time. Ride her out where there were no fences and it was Katy bar the door. She'd run until she ran into a dead end.
All I can say is WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW. You are very deserving of this. I am so glad that you got there first. Now time to make a complete build.
Sweet! Nice haul. It’s not always about money, often it’s just being in the right place at the right time. Can’t wait to see these built and what you decide to drop them in.
Awesome video guys thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
Wow what a find you got there looking forward to seeing what the crew will do with it well done 👍👋🇨🇦
Thanks 👍
Sweet love it exited to see what you guys do with the 351’s Wooooooo!!!!!!!
Thank you
Dude my Wife and I drive just like you guy's. I'm not a Ford man but you Sir made a SCORE with the Clevland stuff!!! I had a Big Block Chevy built one time by a Cleveland guy who ran a Aluminum block Cleveland in a Mach One. Love the Videos and your family values. Thanks for helping Puddin out with his S10 giveaway. Keep up the good work!!
GREAT FIND. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE BUILD. THOSE AUTO BOOKS COME IN HANDY, HEY!
You could shoe horn one of those 351s into a Ford Ranger. That would surely make Ralphie's head explode with happiness!!!
That 351 Cleveland needs going to a Fairmont wagon. And make one incredible street machine
Absolutely
Mid-week Sleeperdude video…excellent, helps with the withdraw!! Looks like you scored big with that market place find. Thanks for the video and can’t wait for the next.
Sleeperdude, it would be really interesting to disseminate the serial codes on those blocks 4 strange designations. Also, my notification button was wiped and I missed this video drop by a day. I've heard of this happening, but this is the first time for me. Cheers!
What a deal! Can't wait to see you build an engine and put it in one of your ford's. 👍
Can’t wait to watch you guys build these!
Josh you hit Jackpot ! Josh & Tosh I had 71 Mustang Mach 1 I my Dad help me with refreshing 351 Cleveland he work at Ford . I was big fan that engine. You have great parts . That close Chamber 4 v is bad !! Your idea is killer about falcon . See Y'all
My vote is for the Falcon!!!
It's been quite a few years since I built a Pantera engine. Even longer since I drove one. My last Ford hotrod was a 69 Tallladega with the 428 CJ engine. I swapped my 68 427 Stingray convertible for it. The Vette was a tiny bit faster in the 1/4, but the Ford was a way more comfortable car to drive.
You need to make a sleeper with this and the Fairmont wagon. You need a sleeper car.
I totally agree
16:25 Ralphie, this Ozzie Bloke approves of your perfect Australian accent 🇦🇺🤙🏼
Nothing beats grilled cheese sammies & tomato soup. Unless y'all talking sleeper dude. Gitty up tater chip.
