1970 Mach 1 windsor?
« on: July 21, 2005, 04:55:04 AM »
Am not too familiar with Windsors and Clevelands. But I am told 1970 Mach 1s normally came with Clevelands. Would it be weird for it to come with a 2 bbl 351W?

Standard engine was the new 351 c.i. V-8. This engine was basically an enlarged 302 and is known as the 351 Windsor, as it was made in Ford's Windsor plant. With the two-barrel carburetor and single exhaust, the base Mach 1 engine was rated at 250hp. The optional 290hp. 351 c.i. V-8 four barrel engine came with dual exhausts and chrome quad outlets. The old 390 c.i. V-8 was also optional, rated at 320hp, with the top engine option being the torquey 428CJ, rated at 335hp . The most powerful 428CJ came with the "Shaker" hood scoop- attached to the engine, it "shook" as the engine idled. The Shaker was optional on the both 351s and 390 V-8. A lot of engines to choose from, to be sure.

So basiclly the first buyer was cheap and bought the base model Mach1, who cares still a sweet car.

I will look at my book tonight when I get home.   But is your question is it normal for it to have a windsor or are you asking if its a windsor.

Back in the day motors were swaped all the time if the first one blew or what have you, no one seemed to care if it was all original.   I don't think the cleveland even came out until 71 or so but like I said I will look at my mustang book when I get home

My book says that the 351c was first offered in 70.  whats the first 6 numbers and letters on the vin.  But the windsor was standered and the 351 cleveland and the 428 cobra jet as options.

70 mach 1 could have had either a 2V 351 C or 2V 351 W as base engine. The earlier it was produced the more likely it is to have been a Windsor. Both could have had shaker as option. Both were H codes. Marti report will tell which your car came with.
No 351 W 4V built for 1970 Mustang.

I agree the 351w H code was available in the early 70 production year. Had a chance to buy one a few years ago..

hello< when i was 18 I bought a new Mach1 < it came with a clevland motor, but it had issues, after 30,000mi I blew 4 pushrods destroying motor, ford replaced the motor N/C, I know own a 70 Mach and installed a windsor as they r cheaper to modify and r more dependable
mine runs 385 HP

Wow! Another topic from our deep dark past.   ;D  I second the emotion on the Windsor.  The one in my 1981 F-150 Lariat is the most reliable engine I have ever had in a vehicle other than the 289 in my '65 coupe.
