Hey everyone, im in the uk and going to see my first Mach1 tomorow. If evrything checks out i should be coming home with it too!
It has a 351 Cleveland in the car but how do i know the motor is a cleveland? i know that it has a 2v or 4v stamped on the heads but wondered if theres anything like this to id it as a cleveland?
Also is there anything in perticular i should look out for? i know rust is a major factor but engine wise..?
Thanks for all your help in advance, Scott

8 or 9 valve cover bolts... I believe the cleveland has 8. I was corrected... but I knew it was something like that.

Cleveland has 8 v/c bolts not 9. Fuel pump bolts are vertical. T-stat housing is in the block forward of the intake. Intake is dry, no coolant flows thru it.
