Its just the same as the 351 cleveland but the later model version late 70's. They are almost identical. But i guess they can be usefull for some performance.

this is the email i got sounds like a crock of *@!.

I bought the engine from a elderly guy who is actually a good freind hes like my mentor over 10 yrs. of learning how to work on my car the engine runs hard i was going to put it in my 67 mustang coupe but just had floor pans welded and frame straightened so i need some solid rims to take it in for alignment , all i need is a tranny & stronger driveshaft and it would have been in on top of all the other work me and ken did but hey ive freshly rebuilt the 289 and is runnin hard for now oh before the 405 was pulled they could barely move that ranchero out the drive without leaving tire marks
