A 351 Windsor V8 in a 1969 Ford Mustang. The 351W (Windsor) made its debut in 1969; it is often confused with the Ford 351 Cleveland, a different engine of near identical displacement that also began production in 1969. The 351.9 cu in (5.8 L; 5,766 cc) Windsor featured a 1.3 in (32.5 mm) taller deck height than the 289/302, allowing a stroke ...
Standard equipment was a 351 cu in (5.8 L) Windsor (351W) 2V 2-barrel engine with a 3-speed manual transmission, and a 9-inch (23 cm) 28 spline open rear axle. A 351W 4V 4-barrel was optional as was a 390 cu in (6.4 L) FE , and the 428 cu in (7.0 L) Cobra Jet 4V with or without Ram Air, and a "drag pack" option with the modified 428 cu in (7.0 ...

This engine had seven main bearings, and can be identified by the five core plugs on the side of the block. The block uses a low-mount starter and six bellhousing bolts, sharing its bellhousing pattern with the 302 and 351 Windsor V8s, late (1965–68) 289, early 4.6 L V8, and the 240 and 300 inline-six. Production of the 250 ended in 1980.
When the 351 Cleveland was discontinued after the 1974 model year, Ford needed another engine in that size range, since production of the 351 Windsor was not sufficient. Ford took the 400 engine's tall-deck block and installed a crankshaft with a shorter 3.5 in (89 mm) stroke to produce a 351 cubic inches (5.8 L) engine.
The larger displacement produced more power and torque than the 200 cu in (3.3 L) engine. Optional engines included the 302 cu in (4.9 L)-2V (standard on GTs), the new for 1969 351 cu in (5.8 L)-2V Windsor, 351-4V Windsor, 390 cu in (6.4 L)-4V, and the 428 cu in (7.0 L)-4V Cobra Jet (standard on Cobras). The 428 CJ was available with or without ...
1975-1978 models were nearly identical except for small differences in trim and emblems from year to year. As a move to increase fuel economy, the 351 cubic-inch V8 was reintroduced for 1978. [32] The standard engine on all other full-size Ford sedans and wagons was the 351 Windsor V8.
Shared with the Maverick, the 302 small block V8 was offered as an option; the 351 Windsor V8 was an option solely for the Granada. [9] A three-speed manual (column-shifted or floor shifted) was standard, with a three-speed automatic offered as an option (standard on the 351 V8); a four-speed manual was introduced in 1976. [9]
