It's a 351 Windsor.
Clevelands were never put in trucks or vans.
M's got killed off in the early 80's.

Racer, that's not entirely correct.... My dad worked for a locksmith in the early 80s, they had a late 70s ford van with a 351c in it.... After 1982 the 351M was no longer available, or the C, so beginning 1983 the W was the only 351 available,

I'll stick by what i said

Clevelands weren't available in trucks or vans but Ms were and a lot of people got the 2 confused because they look very similar. Clevelands were only built from 1970-74.
Feel free to prove me wrong though

If I can find the van to verify... My dad was the mechanic for the fleet, and a locksmith at the same time, so I think he knows what was in it.. It is also possible that it was a transplant too... He's only ever mentioned it once that I can remember.
