I'm jumping on MustangII460's bandwagon. The Cleveland is just plain awesome, it does have some drawbacks though. Oiling system was mentioned among some others. They can all be overcome though. I just saw an article about some new heads from down under, the Cleveland 3V heads. Basically they took the cc volume of the 2V and the flow numbers of the 4V heads, and combined the two.

On the other hand, bring your checkbook! Dollar for dollar you can't beat the Windsor. Plentiful cheap(er) aftermarket parts, research and development is there. D&D performance, Coast High, Ford Motorsport, the list goes on. Not too many people playing with the Clevelands anymore. The "Clevor" is a good running motor, and can be built relatively cheap. Plan on spending time at swap meets to find the right parts, and you better know what you're looking for. Then the intake is an a$$ache to find, or have built.

Like "Nitro420" said in a differnt post, 351 Windsor, and don't look back. Just in your rearview mirror"
