[DeTomaso] Why use a 351 Cleveland rather then a 351 Windsor??

[Göran Malmberg]

The difference between the two engines is not that big. My son ran
a low 11 sec on the strip with a closed chamber 351C. I have yet
to see a windsor Pantera doing so. We have a PI 427W Pantera
here that didnt manage these numbers.
