Up until the 1980s, the 351W was considered inferior to the 351C, since the Cleveland had better flowing heads and a racing heritage. But nowadays, there's a huge availability of performance heads, cams, intakes, and headers for the Windsor. I also agree, it's cheaper to build a Windsor.

Given the availability of parts for the Windsor, it just doesn't make sense to stay with the old school thinking of running a Cleveland. You can tell your dad I said that, and tell 'em I've owned both engines
