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

[Mike Thomas]

Haven't run across too many guys running Windows . . . Maybe running with
windows . . . down . . .

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Hey, someone has to catch the English professor when they can.

Past the fact it's already been discussed numerous times... you already have
a 351C ready to stuff in.  Do It!

It usually boils down to personal preference.  The Windsor may have more
parts availability, many folks here run Windows.  Many run Clevelands, some
run newer Ford Engines, some run Mopar, some run Chevy.

 From a strictly "parts availability and options" point of view, Windsor is
probably the better way to go.  It depends on what you want to accomplish.

So with that in mind, tell us your goals and I'm sure the discussion will
center on which engine is more right for your application.  It all bears
re-discussing. :)
