    yeah that is what I thought. When someone says a 351 Torino Small Block I think Clevland and that IMHO ain't no Clevland....

    VERY nice Car none the less. I really like the way it looks and the price is pretty good too.

    Did you go look at it by any chance? If so is it as nice as it looks?

    If it were a 3 or 4 speed It would have my attention. As it is now I just think it is a very nice looking Maverick

    That manifold looks like an old school torker289 with the twisted carb mount.I did not think they made that for a 351.:scratchchin:

    That is a 289/302 for sure.

    That appears to me to be a 351 windsor judging from the angle of the valve covers and the distance between the radiator hose/thermostat outlet and head. As far as the intake, I used to have one on a 351 in a Granada dirt car back in the 80's. I believe it was a Weiand, but too many beers have passed since then. May have been an Offy.
