The '''Ford 335 engine''' was a family of [[internal combustion engine|engines]] built by the [[Ford Motor Company]] between 1969 and 1982. The "335" designation reflected Ford management's decision during its development to produce a {{cvt|335|cuin|l|1}} engine with room for expansion.<ref name="Cleveland"/> This engine family began production in late 1969 with a 351&nbsp;cu&nbsp;in (5.8&nbsp;L) engine, commonly called the 351C. It later expanded to include a 400&nbsp;cu&nbsp;in (6.6&nbsp;L) engine which used a taller version of the engine block, commonly referred to as a tall deck engine block, a 351&nbsp;cu&nbsp;in (5.8&nbsp;L) tall deck variant, called the 351M, and a 302&nbsp;cu&nbsp;in (4.9&nbsp;L) engine which was exclusive to Australia.

The 351C, introduced in 1969 for the 1970 model year, is commonly referred to as the '''351 Cleveland''' after the Brook Park, Ohio, [[Cleveland Engine]] plant in which most of these engines were manufactured. This plant complex included a [[gray iron]] foundry (Cleveland Casting Plant), and two engine assembly plants (Engine plant 1 & 2). As newer automobile engines began incorporating aluminum blocks, Ford closed the casting plant in May 2012.<ref>{{cite news|last=Schoenberger|first=Robert|title=Ford to close Cleveland Engine Plant No. 2, home of the iconic '351 Cleveland' engine|url=http://www.cleveland.com/business/index.ssf/2012/05/ford_to_close_cleveland_engine.html|access-date=4 May 2012|newspaper=The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer|date=3 May 2012}}</ref>

The 335 series engines were used in mid- and full-sized cars and light trucks, (351M/400 only) at times concurrently with the [[Ford small block engine|Ford small block family]] 351 Windsor, in cars. These engines were also used as a replacement for the [[Ford FE engine|FE V8 family]] in both the car and truck lines. The 335 series only outlived the FE series by a half-decade, being replaced by the more compact small block V8s.
