The Ford small-block is a series of 90° overhead valve small-block V8 automobile engines manufactured by the Ford Motor Company from July 1961 to December 2000. Designed as a successor to the Ford Y-block engine , it was first installed in the 1962 model year Ford Fairlane and Mercury Meteor .

However, some designs have the camshaft in the cylinder head but still sit below or alongside the valves (the Ford CVH and Opel CIH are good examples), so they can essentially be considered overhead valve designs. Some early intake-over-exhaust engines used a hybrid design combining elements of both side-valves and overhead valves. [1]

The 335 series engines were used in mid- and full-sized cars and light trucks, (351M/400 only) at times concurrently with the Ford small block family 351 "Windsor", in cars.
