According to the most reliable sources, no... the Cleveland was discontinued in the US after 1974.

No. I'm not sure if the Cleveland was available in "Dent Sides". Not 100% but I thought the Cleveland was a car engine.

It was not available in the Dents. IIRC, it was available in the 67 Bump. Hence.

Didn't the Clevelands come out in 1970?
No Clevelands in dents'.
In '76 2WD you could get the 300 6 cyl, 302, 360, 390, or the 460 V8s.
4WD 300 6cyl or 360 V8.

You're right... I'm thinkn of the 352FE being available in 67 Bumps as a one-year only availability... not the Cleveland.

Yes. The 352 was replaced in 68 by the 360 FE. The 352 only had a run from 65-67.

Absolutely not. 351C installed in misc 1970/74 Ford/Merc Passenger Cars & Ford Ranchero's only.

1976 F100 2WD: 300 I-6 standard equipment. 302, 360, 390, 460 optional / 1976 F100 4WD: 300 I-6 standard equipment, 360 optional.

The engine code is the 4th digit of the VIN ~ 1976 F100: B = 300 I-6 / G = 302 2V / H = 390 2V / J = 460 4V / M = 390 4V / Y = 360 2V.
