Rich, are your wheels 18" and 19" diameter or 18" and 18" ?

If you really do not want to run a Cleveland anymore i would go with the
Windsor motor.
I love mine!Of course it is not stock : )Mine is very drivable even though
it is pretty strong.Roughly 550 hp and it is not dialed in yet at all.I
pulled a 12.3 at the drag strip in Phoenix at the Fun Rally spinning thru
3rd gear.My 60 foot time was a 2.6!That is slow for people who do not follow
drag racing.As an example my Mach 1 that i dragged years ago did the 60 foot
in 1.2 and that had a weaker engine than this one.If i put this Windsor in
that car it would be a low 11 to high 10 second car.
I got 22 mpg coming from Monterey last year cruising in 5th gear with an 850
cfm carb.I now have an 830 cfm carb that is not tuned yet so i am only
getting around 15 mpg at the moment.
My engine is a 408 with AFR 185 heads,hydraulic roller cam(600 lift,246 @50
duration).All off the shelf parts that any decent engine builder can do.If
interested i can look up the exact parts list.
