CLEVELAND OR WINDSOR 351????

I want to build a motor for my stang, I have a 94 GT. I plan to get a 351 and slowly build a very decent motor. It will be a street car, with some strip action for fun. I dont know whether I should build from a cleveland or windor block. Im trying to weight out all options from the price of parts to the amount of power I can get for the money. thanks for the help......mike

Build a Windsor. There are a lot more parts avalable for the Windsor then for the Cleveland. I know the Cleveland was the motor to have but not anymore.  

Windsor  

clevland  

I thought that the 351c had more parts available? or was that just back in the day?  

Go with the Windsor.  Its more difficult to get parts for a 351C than a Windsor.   

i been runun clevlands for 10 years now and there is just as many parts available as the winsdor here is a case and point 90% of the 351 motorsport blocks use 351c mains nascar is based on the clev chevy sb2 is based on the clev dollar for dollar clev make more power ive got a 1970 clev with 4v quench heads 13-1 pis total ci 358 and it makes 662hp at 7800  do some research before you decide  

Ya. and everyone seems to have a winsdor.The name clevland just seems to have more meening to it from its past reputation. my first mustang was a '69 with a 351c. it was bad a$$  

I thought Clevelands have massive valves in them.  I was under the impression that the two barrel and four barrel motors had different size valves, but I'm not sure how big.  Hopefully someone can clear this up for me. 

So here is where I have a problem.  In order to flow enough air in a Cleveland to really use those valves, I think you would need to have a really high winding engine.  That means that you would have to have a really solid bottom end. 

Does anyone know what kind of RPM's it would take to really get those Cleveland heads percolating?  I used to have a Chevy 350 with 2.02 valves (and an unbelievable Spectre Racing bottom end) that I would routinely wind up over 7500 RPM's, so I'm wondering what kind of RPM's you would need for those massive Cleveland heads to flow right.

...anybody?

get a windser stroke it and put clevland heads on it.its called a clever.bad bad bad.

I strongly recommend buying them from ebay , there cheaper and you have more price range to chose . would also like to recommend Generic Viagra  for people like myself that have intimacy issues
