[The Deuce]

Windsor refers to the original plant location where the motor was assembled. It was the design used for the 260, 289, 302, 351 motors for over 30 years.

It really depends what size you are thinking about getting. They made anywhere from 160bhp (stock 2v 260) to a lot of hp. A solid lifter 289 would be sweet in your car, but I've seen pretty much everything in there.

The person who "advised" you against the Windsor, is probably a Cleveland fan, or doesn't know what they are talking about. The Celveland block was used in select HiPo mustangs from 69-73. It was a 351, and it would be hard to get in you engine bay.

If you car came with a v-8 originaly, it was a Windsor block. There would be no problem using a newer motor in there, as long as you transmission and rear end are strong enough to handle the power.

Hope this helps.
