Dangit, Sleeperdude. You just had to remind me of my crushed dream back in the 80's. I hit the jackpot as well with a friends 72 Mach One with the 351C 4-barrel. He had no inclination to work on this car that had bad tie rods/bad u-joints/ and a blown rear end, and I had no intentions of continuing to drive a 72 Pinto automatic with 80 horsepower. $500 bucks later I owned this heap with a creampuff running Cleveland. At 17, My parents went ballistic with me owning a muscle car knowing I already had a right foot made of Lead. Never got to do the repairs and drive it though. I was forced to immediately resell it and never seen it again....opportunity only knocked once for this and I missed out at the end. Several Mustangs over the years, since 1984, graced my driveway but still dream of owning one with the Cleveland engine.
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 RUclips!!! 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'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
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.
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!" 👍🏁
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😂😂😂
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 😃
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.
: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?! 😂
I really wish I had a dad growing up to teach me all the stuff about cars that Josh is teaching his kids. Honestly Ralfie and WaWa prob know more than than me and I’m in my 30s. Keep teaching them all you can Josh, it will pay off in the long run.
@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
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.
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?
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!
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.
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
I noticed the crankshafts were laying on their side that's not a good idea. You should always store crankshaft standing up and secured so it doesn't fall over. The weight of a crank laying on its side can actually cause it to bend slightly
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!
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 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
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.
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.
I'm going to pray for y'all: - pray you're not foolish enough to make them into some burnout-car timebomb. - pray y'all won't go the "vintage" route. - pray you find enough partners to make an up-to-date, current technology (distributor less, EFI, one-piece mainseal, etc) no expenses spared, build for one of your "keeper" blue ovals (SC 'bird or Falcon?.......how about a rowdy truck?) - lastly, I'm going to pray y'all will share the Clevland motor experience, learning curve, educational pathways & deep-dive informational ins & outs. I'm confident it's content that will reap rewards for y'all. Super excited!
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!!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!!
A lot of pretty damn fast 351 clevo and clevor (windsor block cleveland heads) powered street cars here in Australia. Try and build a backyard Boss engine. That'll be neat.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
I owned on in a 70 Torino GT fast back in the 80's and my uncle had them in just about every vehicle he owned, never knew they were so rare this day and age
I was the same way, my Dad would travel back roads when traveling and I couldn’t stand it when I was younger but now if there is a back road that leads to where I’m going, I’m going to be on it.
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.
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.
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....

Sure do.
I'm already 3/4 through watching this one twice. =)
Amen! That made my day!

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 RUclips!!!
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.
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
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
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 👍
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😂😂😂
I put a 351 Cleveland in my 1964 Falcon. It fit !! Drove it for 3 years!! Jerry in Buckeye Az
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!
Josh, you need to go shopping by yourself more often! Awesome score!
Maybe so
I hope you gave that dude another ’huge thanks’ for his big ❤️
👍👍👍
The pinto would really be a ripper with one!
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
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
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
That would make a good burnout engine. Wide open throttle is what those 4V heads want.
: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?! 😂
I just can't get over how excited the whole family is about car parts, except sqezzy of course. 😊
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.
I really wish I had a dad growing up to teach me all the stuff about cars that Josh is teaching his kids. Honestly Ralfie and WaWa prob know more than than me and I’m in my 30s. Keep teaching them all you can Josh, it will pay off in the long run.
Sleeperdude bonus video life is good❤❤
Yup score. Assemble one engine as package. Then flip build other. One
@@gerry-p9x no way you know he is keeping both🤣

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
Love it when ever I watch your videos it always plays DG commercials LOL.

Hey sleeper proper bargain keep it up 👍 😊mat uk 🇬🇧
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!
That econoline is crying for one of those 351's
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.
Panterra in a Beetle! Can’t wait!
That would be awesome
@@sleeperdude2690 need wheelie bars for sure 👍👍
DOOO ITTTT!!!!
I noticed the crankshafts were laying on their side that's not a good idea. You should always store crankshaft standing up and secured so it doesn't fall over. The weight of a crank laying on its side can actually cause it to bend slightly
Probably because of riding in the truck. At the end of the video, I think they were upright ✌
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
Luck was on your side seeing that market place ad! Great hoard of organized parts and rare stuff! So cool! Congratulations!
For sure
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 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I'm going to pray for y'all:
- pray you're not foolish enough to make them into some burnout-car timebomb.
- pray y'all won't go the "vintage" route.
- pray you find enough partners to make an up-to-date, current technology (distributor less, EFI, one-piece mainseal, etc) no expenses spared, build for one of your "keeper" blue ovals (SC 'bird or Falcon?.......how about a rowdy truck?)
- lastly, I'm going to pray y'all will share the Clevland motor experience, learning curve, educational pathways & deep-dive informational ins & outs.
I'm confident it's content that will reap rewards for y'all.
Super excited!

You need to make a sleeper with this and the Fairmont wagon. You need a sleeper car.
I totally agree
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.
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!

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
SCORE!! Man that was a treasure trove of Ford parts. Those 4v heads are worth bucks.
Dollar store the best place to buy targets. Pantera an awesome sounding car.

Thank you
2:07 Dollar Gentrals pop up out of nowhere
Take a set of those Cleveland heads and a 302 block. Start of a Boss
351 Cleveland is awesome. 👏
Happy to see a video tonight.
Hope you enjoyed it!
I have a good friend that has a wrecked 72 Pantera that he is repairing. Love the video. Great find
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.
Cleveland in the Falcon, thank you.
Fit up the 2V heads on a 302 and make you a BOSS!
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.
Way cool thanks for your time 👍👍👍👍👍😋
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....
