I just got a 1970 Ford Fairmont 302 XY V8, in almost mint condition im
doing it up, how do u tell if it is a windsor engine or a cleavland

Crap that's not right
its 302 Cleveland
and 351 Windsor
Oh crap! again.
302,s and 351's are available in Cleveland and Windsor form.
I shouldn't really need to know coz I'm a Holden person.

Easy way to tell is the thermostat housing, in the Windsor it is
bolted vertically to the front of the inlet manifold, a Clevelands
housing is bolted to the block horizontally.

They infact started using the Windsor in 1974 again, the Cleveland
tooling came down here to Aus at this point although Ford USA still
had a Cleveland derivitive with the 351/400M.

The Windsor came out in more sizes than this, the 351W had a taller
deck height, the 302C was only ever available in Australia.

Thats right! How can we forget the original 260 and its 289 brother!

If it is the standard motor it will be a Windsor. Even most of the 351's in
XY's are Windsors.
The 302 Cleveland came out in the XA.
BTW, the 302 version of the Cleveland was only made in Oz, some people call
them the 302 "Geelong".

As I remember it, only the GTHO Phase II had a Cleveland 351 in the XW.
I have also seen a lot of (non-GT) 2V 351 Windsors in XY Falcons.
All the 302s were Windsors 'till the XA, when ALL sizes were Clevelands.
Or in fact the original original Windsor, the 221, and another obscure
size in 1980 was the 255 !!!
Kieron
To be totally correct, there is no such a thing as a "302 Cleveland". Only the
aussie built "Clevelands" where 302s, no such a thing in US. You get strange
looks from US guys when talking about 302 clevos.The aussie engine should
really be a "302 Geelong"
BTW to the original poster, the Clevo is bigger, the heads and rocker covers
look square when viewed from the ends and top and the Windsor heads look
likethey point in at the top and are parralellogram shaped from above.

I don't know what Ford was thinking at the time, it was used in the
Fox platform Mustang, it had an odd bore of 3.68", the 260 was 3.8",
289/302/351W's where all 4".
Kieron
AFAIK the Cleveland 351 crank and rods fit straight in to the 302.
>Perhaps someone can open up the debate as to which motor (Windsor vs Clevo)
>is better?
My (limited) understanding is:
The Windsor has a better bottom end and the Cleveland has the better heads.
Hence the "Boss" motors, Windsor block, crank, etc with Cleveland heads.

The 351/302C blocks are exactly the same, the only difference is the
stroke. The only other main diference is the 302 has a unique head
with a smaller combustion chamber to bump compression back up, simply
adding 351 crank/rods will boost the compression close to 10.7:1 ish
iirc, you would need to used dished pistons to bring it back to a max
of around 10:1.
As for which is better. The C is a later design with huge canted
valves and bangs for buck wise is probably still the better option if
your modifying them. However, the 302W has reached small block Chev
status in the US and has a huge aftermarket performance catalogue, to
the point of it being pretty much cheaper to modify bangs for buck
wise, the W's other advantage's is it has factory EFI and is smaller
and lighter than a C.
Out of interest, the V8 Supercars use Windsor style heads (Ford
Motorsport), the block is a modified Windsor to with the water
entering the block directly - easier for custom built injection.
Kieron
That's pretty much it in a nutshell. The Cleveland was a strange engine. The
4V's were one of the best pair of heads ever to come out of detroit, but
they also came bolted to one of the poorest designed, weakest short motors
ever known.
Funny logic really: Heads that flow fantastic at 8000 rpm on a short motor
that is in the lap of the gods at 6000 rpm :)
Regards,
Noddy.
In fact there were no Cleveland heads when the Boss 302 was introduced
in 1969 (nor were there ever any 302 Clevelands outside of Oz). The
first 351-C appeared (US) during 1970 and in 1971 the Boss package was
only available on the Cleveland (bottom end included).
Neither was there anything called a Windsor prior to 1969, when the
351-W was introduced. AFAIK the 90° small blocks, ie 221 & 260 ('62),
289 ('63) and 302 ('68) weren't ever known as Windsors at their time
of manufacture.
Perhaps someone might tell us when the 302 small block became the
302-W, or whether they've ever been called Windsors outside of Oz,
since - unlike the 351 - no-one else ever needed to distinguish
between them.

These are old Y block Ford V8 sizes, pre FE and Windsor.

I havn't heard of these, I certainly know that the Windsor 302 was
made in Mexico for a while, also the Windsor plant is actually in
Canada ;-)
Another small block Ford that floated around was the 351/400M which
effectively took the place of the 351C's in large cars and trucks.

There was 3 Boss Mustangs available, the Boss 302 that used a 302W
block with 4 bolt mains and Cleveland heads in 69/70, the Boss 429
which used a 429 bottom end with Hemi type aluminium heads, also in
69/70 and the Boss 351 in 71 which was all Cleveland.
Out of interest, Ford had a 302 in 68 with Tunnel Port heads which
where designed for Trans Am racing.

Thats probably correct, the Windsor was actually called the Challenger
V8 by Ford.

It seems to be generally referred to as the W in USA in the old cars
and the 5.0 in fox bodied Mustangs, Crown Viccies etc.
Kieron
But there weren't any Cleveland heads in '69! Clevelands weren't
available until well into 1970, so where would the Cleveland heads
have come from in '69?
>

In fact the Boss 302 heads were an extension of the '68 tunnel port
design (which never reached production) - the Boss heads had canted
valves and larger ports. It was the Boss port design that was
subsequently adopted for the 4V Clevelands. All Clevelands (2V & 4V)
used the same canted valve layout as the Boss 302. There are also
significant differences between the two.
That is to say the (later) Cleveland heads were influenced by the 302
Boss design. The only Boss engine to have Cleveland heads was the '71
which, as you say, was all Cleveland.

A question; the term "fox body". I assume that's the generation that
Johnson drove after the XE went all 6cyl; what's the "fox" in reference
too?

The Fox bodied Mustang came out in 1979, at the time it shared the
platform with the US Fairmont (Falcon size car), the fox platfrom was
used up to around 1993 when the new shape 'Stang came out on the Fox 4
platform which is a heavily modified fox platform!!

John, i'm afraid the 69 Boss 302 used C heads, there is no question
about it, they may not necessarily have been called Cleveland heads at
the time though.

The Tunnel Ports where modified 1968 Windsor 4V heads, no canted
valves, just massive ports, the pushrods where in the middle of the
ports running inside a tube, hence there name. Here's a pic I have of
the inlet ports of this head -

Don't forget that the C would have been at the end of its design phase
in 68/69ish.
>Pedants-R-Us. ;-)
LOL !!!, but we must get it right ;-)
Kieron
Sure they're Cleveland lookalikes (4V Clevelands even share the same
design) but they're peculiar to the 302 Boss, no Cleveland ever used
identical heads - or even identical castings. Nor were the Boss heads
the same casting for '69 and '70, the '69 even has different waterways
(at least according to pictures I have).
Have a look at the specs you've referred to...
No Cleveland ever had the same combustion chambers as the '70 Boss
(57.2-60.0ml). No Cleveland ever had the same size valves as the '69
Boss (2.23" inlet). There are also differences the specs don't cover,
eg rocker pedestals.
The clincher might be whether or not a 302 Boss head will run on a
Cleveland engine without modification, and I still think not. I'll
retract on the tunnel port influence on the Boss heads though, quite
clearly (from your reference picture) they bear no relationship to the
Boss heads whereas Cleveland's certainly are related.
--
John H
The Boss 302 heads would have had different waterways (probably during
casting) due to the Windsor using a wet inlet vs the Cleveland's dry,
its easy enough to covert standard C heads to bolt onto a W block by
modifying the waterways, and I would be surprised if you couldn't make
simple waterway mods to Boss heads and bolt them to a C block.
As for conbustion chamber volumes/valve sizes and rocker mountings,
don't forget the Windsor had many different combinations, from memory
for instance, there where 3 different rocker mountings for the W but
they are all still called Windsor heads, same even goes for the C as
we know it, many different chamber/valve sizes ;-)

Installing any Windsor type head (which would include the Boss 302) on
a Cleveland is actually easier than vice versa. It's a simple matter
of drilling an 11/16" hole in the head face using a Cleveland gasket
as a template.
However the Boss intake face is also unique to the Boss heads so a
Cleveland manifold won't fit - at least that is my understanding.
Therefore by my logic... if Boss 302 heads won't run on a Cleveland
engine without *extensive* modification then they can hardly be called
Cleveland heads.
On rummaging through my junk I did find some SVO engine building
literature (circa 1985) along with Catalogue No. M-18833-A1 (which
also has a comprehensive list of what fits what). SVO describe the
Boss heads as "similar in design" to the 351C 4V heads but they are
*never* referred to as Cleveland heads.
And here's what they (SVO) say about the 90-degree V family, ie
221/260/289/302/351W... "This engine family can be correctly referred
to as the Windsor family, although most Ford people reserve that
distinction only for the 351. The remainder are called by their
displacement. "
