The Ford Boss 351 is a modified 351 in³ (5.8 L) 335 "Cleveland" V8 fitted with 4V (4V meaning 4 barrel carburettor, which entailed other cylinder heads and manifold, not 4 valves) style closed-chambered 351C heads. Available only in 1971 production, it uses the basic four-bolt Cleveland block and crankshaft but both are constructed from high-strength nodular iron. The cylinder head is modified for better airflow and solid lifters. Aluminum valve covers added to the look. The forged connecting rods were shot-peened and magnafluxed for strength, and forged domed pistons gave an 11.3:1 nominal (11.1:1 advertised) compression ratio.
