You could always try getting a C4, they don't seem that hard to come by.

Try looking for 1985 f150, 250, 350 4x4's, with a 351 Windsor(or 302).

I thought the Cleveland had the big block bellhousing??? If so, then it would bolt to the C6 behind the 351M. Correct me if I'm wrong...

The Cleveland does need the small block bell housing. I have one in my truck with a 302 bell housing behind it. I also have a C6 with the small block bell housing and bolt pattern. Never ran it as I decided to go with a 4 speed. I think they may also have been used in the hipo Mustangs.

The Cleveland (351C) has the small 300/302/351W bell housing pattern. The 351M and almost all 400's have the large bell housing pattern like the 429/460.
