Re: engine

At the risk of being contrary, a Cleveland is a small block. It takes the same bellhousing flange as 221, 260, 289, 302 and 351W, and has the "short" deck height. The "M" series (351M and 400) are a mix of the two. They use the bellhousing flange of the 429/460, and the heads from the Cleveland, and the deck height is taller than the C. The 429/460 is what we currently call a "big block" Ford. The old FE engines (332, 352, 360, 390, 427, 428 (plus a few more) are the "old" Ford big block.
Just keeping things straight...
