The 351C is obscure only to someone younger than me.
All modern OHV racing engines are based upon stuff learned from the 351C.

" ... has meant loyal Clevelandites have kept the engine — or at least the cylinder heads — alive three decades after Ford stopped Cleveland engine production."
the author missed a decade somewhere along the line, i count over 40 years since Ford cracked a mold?

...I prefer 'Clevelanites'.
Is this correct? Tha Article Reads: "(Inter-Bore Limit at 0.0150")". '15 Thousandths'?
Or did they mean 0.1500"?
You are Both correct!...Australia stopped production in 1984, equals 33 yrs, 3 Decades.
Ford stopped in 1973-74 Equals 43 yrs, 4 Decades.
Beautiful Aluminum Block! I want One!!
Congratulations! To Mr. Meyer!

99.9% it's .150"
and that's seriously minimum! pretty sure i read that the .150" accommodates the two sealing wires for each adjacent bore, and may be an extremely short term proposition as in a high maintenance between rounds kind of deal. but i wonder what kind of service life the head gaskets would have set up like that?
