The Cleveland’s were one of my favorite hot rodding motors when I was into hot rodding in the early nineties. I’ve built a 4V engine and 2V Aussie head versions. I can tell you this, those 4V ports could ventilate a diamond mine! Great for high RPM, does little for low end stuff! Check out the pic of one my 4V intake valves compared to a 617.952 injector and a quarter. At 2.25 inches diameter it is just ridicules! The Aussie head made the motor much more street kind.
BTW – In regards to the 351M and 400M, the common name is "Modified". But most people don’t know that the engine is actually named after it the Michigan Casting Center (MCC) in Flint Rock, MI, where it was initially produced. The naming convention follows the place where they were manufactured like the 351 Cleveland’s were produced in Cleveland Casting Plant (CCP) and the 351 Windor’s were produced at the Windsor Casting Plant (WCP).
