Engine Application: Built for the Ford Cleveland 351C engine. The 351 logo is the right pick for genuine 351C builds where the displacement badge accurately reflects the engine. Suits Australian Falcon XW, XY, XA, XB, XC, XD, XE and Fairlane / LTD 351C-powered cars, US Torino 351C builds, and Cleveland engine swaps into hot rods, F-trucks and customs..
-
Cleveland vs Windsor is Critical: Ford 351 engines come in two completely different families with different cylinder heads and different valve covers. Cleveland (351C) and Windsor (351W) covers are not interchangeable. Cleveland heads use a wider cover footprint with bolts further out, while Windsor covers are narrower with bolts closer in. Confirm you have Cleveland heads before ordering. Mixing up Cleveland and Windsor is one of the most common Ford V8 fitment mistakes.
-
Raised 351 Logo and Finned Grooves: The prominent 351 logo sits in the centre of each cover with raised grooves running along the top, giving a finned look without being a fully finned aftermarket cover. The chrome plating picks up the raised logo and groove edges sharply, giving more visual depth than a flat smooth cover. The logo and grooves are part of the pressing rather than a stuck-on badge.
-
351 Logo Specifically: Best suited to 351C builds where the displacement badge matches the engine. For 302C builds, the displacement-neutral plain top or Cleveland-logo cast aluminium variants are a better pick aesthetically. The logo is a styling choice rather than a fitment restriction, so a 351 logo cover will physically fit a 302C engine, but the badge accuracy matters on display builds where the engine spec is part of the identity.
-
Steel vs Cast Aluminium Construction: Pressed steel with chrome plating is lighter on the wallet than cast aluminium and gives a smoother, brighter look. The steel pressing also has a slimmer profile in the bolt flange area than thick cast aluminium, which can help in tighter Australian Falcon engine bays where intake clearance is tight. The trade-off is that steel does not dampen valvetrain noise quite as well as cast aluminium and is more prone to denting if struck during install or removal.
-
Triple Chrome Plated Construction: Pressed steel base with triple chrome plating gives a deep, reflective finish and improves long-term durability against oxidation and chip-through. Suits chrome-themed engine bays, classic Falcon restorations and show builds where a bright dress-up package ties through the engine bay.
-
Complete With Baffles, Pair Listing: Sold as a pair, which is what the Cleveland V8 takes. Internal baffles are included to control oil splash and stop oil being pulled out through the breather. Push-in breather caps, grommets and Cleveland-specific valve cover gaskets are sourced separately. Windsor gaskets do not fit the wider Cleveland cover footprint.
- Practical Buyer Tip: Chrome benefits from a gentle wipe-down with a soft microfibre cloth and a quality chrome polish to keep it bright, particularly in coastal or humid conditions where pitting can start to develop. Avoid harsh degreasers and abrasive polishes that can dull or scratch the plating over time. Worth ordering fresh Cleveland-specific gaskets at the same time as cheap insurance against oil leaks during initial run-in.
