    A 351 is not considered a big block. It is a Cleveland or a Windsor??? Being it is in a Mustang, I would imagine it is a Windsor. The Ford big blocks are the 385 series engines, such as 429's and 460's.....

    Dave is right Alot of people think the 351 Cleveland is a big block...but it isnt, its a canted head small block.
    The FE series is considered a big block to many.

    Dont forget the 400-351 Modified Ford. It has small block heads and bigbolt bell housing pattern.
