I see it all the time in for sale ads, 351 Cleveland. Was the Cleveland ever marinized by any company? I'm unaware of it. I know the production years and numbers of the C is pretty limited, I would speculate if anybody built one it'd be HM. What have you seen?

Never seen one. This is the closest I've seen to proof that such a thing existed. 99.9% of people claiming they have a marine 351 Cleveland are foolish folks who actually have windsors.

Donzi used a Boss 302 engine which I believe was a Windsor with Cleveland heads. Dave and I looked at one last year and it was a Ford small block with wide, unusual very distinct heads. We've got a picture somewhere of it.

I have seen a few Cleveland fords in old school V-drive flatbottoms but have not known of any marinizers that built them. PCM had a Clevor Program for a couple years that did not work out so well. Windsor engines with Cleveland heads.

The 351c was common in Australian cars in the 70's and 80's and many ended up in boats,some where new engines (poorly marinised) there where a couple of companies that produced aftermarket marine conversions kits and many brand new boats had used car engines installed!
This is a pic of one of my boats from 1980 with a reverse mounted 351c  |

This is the engine that was in the Donzi. I learned after we looked at it from PO that the 1st owner ordered a Boss 302 Mustang crate engine from Ford and swapped the original engine out. A Ford fanatic told me what is being called a Clevor is a Boss 302 Mustang engine.
