to hear that and more!!!
The Cleveland is an oddball smallblock built from 70(I think)-74. It has NOTHING in common with the other Ford small blocks except cylinder spacing and the same motor mount and bellhousing configuration. The Windsor is essentially a stroked 302 with a taller deck and larger main journals. It was built from 69-97 or 98. The H.O. was an eighties truck motor (may have been found in a Crown Vic or two also). It was just a four barrel 351W. You forgot about the 351M AKA 351 Modified AKA 351 Midland. It was based on the 351C and is very similar except for its big block bellhousing and motor mounts.
The 351 HO is the same block as the Normal windsor, it was just the name of a factory option for that particulatr engine size, it game with a stock four barrel carb, a hotter cam than standard 351 engines, and stock dual exhaust from factory. They were put in Ford tr ucks from about 1984 1/2 until they were replaced by the 351EFI.
The Cleveland Engine is part of a different family of engines that include the 351C, 351M, and 400. They were sort of a medium block, even though they were listed as small blocks. They ran on different heads with a canted valve type than the windsor type engines. The water outlet was on the block instead of on the intake manifold as on the windsor series.
Don't forget the rare 351 BOSS engine. It was in the 71 to 73? BOSS Mustangs. It was a 351C with HEMI style heads.
What are you looking to put the enigne in? If you are looking for a street engine beware that the 351C 4 barrel heads have huge vavles and flow like drag racing engines and their power range starts at about the 2500 to 3000 RPM range, so if you are drag racing on the strip it is the ticket. If you are looking for a good street engine the 351W is got really good low end torque and will bolt up in place of a 302. My little BRO has one in this 86 stang and WOW. 351C cost more too. Some really like the 351C with the 2 barrel heads and an afttermarket 4 barrel intake and 4 barrell carb for street use too.
the 302 has a narrow intake manifold compared to the 351W due to a shorter deck height. Best way is to look at intake manifolds on ebay and see the differance I am talking about.
The BOSS 351 engine was available in Mustangs in 1971 & rated at 330bhp.This engine was still around for 1972-1973,but was offered in both Mustangs & Torinos,and referred to as the 351CJ.I think Ford dropped the compression ratio a bit,and toned down it's camshaft in 1972,but if I remember correctly, it was rated at 266 net horsepower-some reference books say '275'.It was offered with either an automatic,or a 4-speed manual in '72-'73.I've never driven a car equipped with this 351 Cleveland, but those that have,that I've talked to, say it is an excellent performer.The 351 H.O. was a mid 80's offering (mid-'84-'87) for fullsize pickups & Broncos.It is a Windsor series engine,not really different from earlier versions of the 351-4V Windsor.Basically,the 351-2V Windsor placed in trucks & Broncos needed more power,so Ford put a Holley 4bbl. carb/different intake,a mild camshaft,and factory dual exhaust to it.I think Ford also offered this 351 H.O. engine in police/law enforcement Crown Vics.Horsepower rating was 190@4,000rpm.Torque is listed at 285 lb.-ft.@2,600rpm. When Ford gave the 351W EFI,in 1988, these were it's power ratings : 210 net hp@3,800rpm/315 lb.-ft. of torque@2,800rpm.
I almost forgot: the 351CJ was also available in the Mercury Cougar,and Montego/Cyclone cars in 1972-1973,with an automatic,or optional 4-speed with a Hurst shifter.
