Power advantage between Ford 351, Mopar 340 and Chevy 350??

And Cleveland 4bbl engines never came in entry level cars, like Mavericks and Falcons. You had to move up to Mustangs or Torinos. So, there's no valid apples to apples comparison. When you moved up to B and E Bodies, Hemis were available.

Maybe that is true in the states but in Aus we only had clevelands from about 1971 all in 4 barrel form with 351 and 302 but they were assembled locally with a hybred cyl head that was half way between a 4V and a 2V open chamber head and they were gas guslers with poor performance. I had cop cars for years and my VJ Charger with 265 hemi 2 barrel four speed was a lot faster than my Falcon 351 4 speeds and used half the fuel doing so. My charger ran 15.7 stock and just by putting a 600 holley and extractors( Headers) it ran 14.7 qtrs all day long.
