I am partial to a Cleveland, I think you can get more juice out of those. But i have also heard of many people saying there's more aftermarket for a Windsor.

 

My sister-n-law received a '70 Mach 1 for her graduation present. 300HP, Shaker hood, 4sp. and rear window slats, man that car was sweet. They sold it to start a family. You are right, they are more parts for the Windsors than Clevelands, but I'd still would like to have the Cleveland.

 

cleveland, hands down

 

Windsor, they can make more power

 

Cleveland ROCKS! ROMEO Rocks!

 

im kinda split.

if the car is all original and is going to be kept that way: Cleveland! great engines (basis for Boss 351)

if the car is gonna be restomodded: Windsor, there's wuite a bit more u can do with em. i long for a '71 FB w/ a 351 windsor bumped to a 427 stroker and converted to EFI coupled to a 5 speed

edit: forgot to add, i voted for windsor

 

Hmmmm....decisions, decisions.....

 

You cant go wrong with ethier cuz they are both FORD

 

good point! lol

 

I say windsor though they are lower hp stock who wants to keep anything stock neway

 

408W Stroker

 

I have owned two Mach1 with the 351C, a 70 and 71. Even my Chevy and Pontiac friends had respect for the 351C. B)

 

Windsor all the way for the aftermarket alone.

However, nothing wrong with a well built Cleveland!

 

I see a lot more parts and advertising for the Windsor but my buddy swears the Cleveland is a stronger more durable engine for modifications. I myself am not sure so I'll go with his input:

Cleveland

 

that's exactly right generally speaking

 

Is it also true W makes torque and C has better top-end?

 

The Cleveland motor hasn't been in production since the 70's, so the windsor motor definitely has an advantage in terms of aftermarket availablitly.

Stock for stock, i'd take the cleveland, the cylinder heads have HUGE ports (especially the 4V heads).

The coolest setup would be to build a 351 using a windsor block and cleveland heads. I remember reading in M&F years ago that there is a shop that builds intakes to fit a setup like that.

 

I voted for the Windsor, the cleveland is excellent as well, but the windsor is a durable motor, that parts are readily available..

 

Cleveland, just cos I used to have one!
