chris- i still cant remember exactly why, aside from being alum, but i know there is something that makes the aussie heads better.... time to dive into the old mag collection...
also, with cleveland heads ill be able to use this one really cool BOSS 302 intake/carb setup i saw once. it was this crazy intake with this inline 4 barrel carb. it was for raceing boss 302s way back when, and since u were only allowed a 4 barrel carb in the T/A races (is that right... not sure...) it had for single barrels modified into one four barrel but in an inline. its an expensive combo and hard to tune, but from what i remember reading over the years, on an otherwise stock boss 302 it was curning a bit over 500hp...
there was one on ebay a while back... sold for like $4K ort something. very rare, but i want it for my II lol. another reason why im waiting for all these major upgrades...

ok story time!!!!
last nite was Eid, an Islamic holiday, where they end their fasting and stuff. and we've been friends with this one family since my parents were way back in fiji, so they;re practicall like family so we went to visit last night, even tho we're not Muslim.
so i got to finally see my 'cousins' after like two years of... not. turns out all three of us have progressed in our searches for muscle cars. one of em now has a 97 metallic orange GT vert. supposedley one of only a few hundred with that combo. and man, on a N/A 2v he runs consistent 13s. but heres the kicker... he's got an 03 cobra motor and a 2.2L KB on the way!!!! he's working on strenthening the chassis and whatnot bfore it al gets here tho lol. and his triplet bro has a GT40 replica. he got a 4cyl porsche motor for it
but he's selling that to get some kind of V8. teehee i offered to sell him my 2.8L and RAD4 for about $300 
their sister is of in college so she wasnt there, but it was alot of fun.
so basically we were up till like midnite talking about cars, the niners (YES! we're all niner fans lol), and airsofts.
it feels so great to see old friends u havent seen in a long time and catch up n stuff. just thought i'd throw in that lil story for ya's
and i cant wait to see that 97 GT get all its stuff done.... he's doing other stuff to it in addition to the 2.2L KB, like porting and polishing the heads, a full exhaust and a few other things. he crunched the numbers and siad he's looking at about 800rwhp
lol i told him, we gotta race when we're done... hehe and that he's got to let me drive it

Todays windsor based aftermarket parts are better then the racing parts they used in the 1960's
There is really no gain in using those except for nastolga.
It's up to you but cleveland heads limit your choices on the aftermarket and are probabaly more expensive since not as many people use them.
