I sometimes wish I had started on the 351 Windsor I have instead of the Cleveland but the feelings usually don't last long. One of the things I really like about the Cleveland is the torque. I've never been in a windsor that would match it. The sound is another. Windsors sound just like a 5.0. It seems that every fox body Mustang in the world sounds exactly the same. Different pitches sometimes, but they're all noise clones. This Cleveland is going in a 86 notchback. (it came out of my son's 71) and it's Daddy's toy this time. I guess the shock factor is fun too. Not many people have even seen a Cleveland much less have the ability to tell one from a Windsor. I'd never knock a Windsor. I've built two of them and they are awsome engines. Cheap to build too. But you ust can't beat the thunder from a Cleveland at full song.
