Your right about putting the Cleveland heads on a Windsor but just liek the "Boss 302" they are junk unless you are able to turn high rpm's. A "true Boss 302" would be nice to have if you were restoring a a true boss car but other wise the are junk. They make little to no power in the low rpms and driving one through town would suck. Pure race motor - those heads and Windsor bottom end would be ideal. And the "Boss 302" you had would mean that the 351 had 4 bolt mains, the only way to get a 4 bolt main 351 is to go to the 351 cobra jet (clevland) or buy a new sportsman block for a couple grand. The company that makes the inake IS "Bush Performance" in Oklahoma or Nebraska, cant remember exact location and they carb intake is 400 bucks alone.

If you put those heads on a Windsor bottom end unless you are plannign on running a Huge alky carb or something no porting is needed. I mean the ports are huge. trust me I have a pair. I have seen them and toyed with the idea of building a Clevor motor in times past but just havent done it. the freakin valves are huge too. All you would have to do is get a set of headers made and maybe slick up the ports. You wouldnt even have to have much material taken out.
