Actually, there are about as many performance parts for the Cleveland as there are for the Windsor. You'll pay about 30 percent more across the board for most of them but they're out there. Austrailia has a plethora of hi performance parts still being manufactured and most are readily available here in this country. I'm building my third Cleveland right now and haven't had any trouble with parts. Now. . Maw is another story.
They are expensive to build but like I said, the numbers are about the same. One example, a 393 stroker kit for a Cleveland is about 1800 bucks, the same for a Windsor is about 8-900.
About the only thing I couldnt' find this time around is dished forged pistons. Had to have Probe cut a set, cost right at $530 for everything.
