[QUOTE="GeorgiaSnake, post: 13513543, member: 113703"] Steel, don't take this personally but I was around when the cars were new in 69 and 70, you are 25. I copied and pasted a section from a resource about Mach 1's that clearly shows 351W as an available in 69 engine and the 351C as an available in 70 engine for that model Mustang. Trust me once the plants assembling Mustangs no longer had 351W's for the Mustangs going down the line once the 1970 Models were being assembled they got 351C's. Its been 43 yrs since the 1970 cars were new. I don't doubt you have never seen one with a 351C in it. Doesn't mean that if you bothered to check the numbers on the VIN and Data plate/placard that it didn't come with a 351C originally and someone had transplanted a different engine in the car. I have been an enthusiast since 1977 and was once a recognized appraiser for the first Generation Mustangs by the MCA. Now if you want me to list resources so you can read and educate yourself I will be glad to do so. The guy who started this thread, his 70 model may have come with a 351W...IF it was assembled the first few days or couple of weeks of the 1970 model year IF the plant it was assembled in still had some 351W's left for cars going down the line. I have seen many oddities such as that over my time. I used to have a friend with an absolutely correct 65 GT 2+2 with the factory 271 hp Hipo. His car was absolutely correct WITHOUT the hipo exhaust manifolds and the standard manifolds instead because the factory his was assembled in was temporarily out of stock on the hipo manifolds. He had the build sheets and other paper work from Ford to reflect this. He had to have that for the type of car shows he was doing with his car. I know the first Generation cars like I know the back of my hand. I can tell you things that a lot of published books wont tell you.
