Have you driven the car at all with the Cleveland?

You may like the characteristics and power delivery of one over the other...and then there's the difference in sound...

Hi all,

My 71 Pantera has a built 351c in it now, I know the builder who did it and the previous owner (one of my best friends) so I know it is a well built engine and pretty radical, but it was done about 18 years ago and only broke in and started in the car but never driven; car has been in garage and off the road for 28 years. Also has a flat tapper cam. Neither of them can honestly remember what the internals or specs are, but knowing them it is as radical as you can get 18 years ago.

I am sure it's a great motor, but I have the chance right now to obtain a fully built 351w new Dart Sportsman block (4 bolt splayed mains) and Dart Pro 1 CNC aluminum heads, Dart manifold and stroked to 427ci all scat internals with h-beam rods and full hydraulic roller motor. 634hp. I have an engine credit at a well established engine shop, so not going to cost me anything.

My car is at a point that I can pull the motor now and do this.

So, should I pull the trigger on the Winsor or just stay with the Cleveland?

Does a Windsor decrease the value? Is it a good upgrade for value on the car?

Or the other option is pull the Cleveland stroke it to 408, aluminum heads and roll prize it.

If I do the Windsor should I keep or sell the Cleveland?

So just want to get opinions for you guys.

Thanks Ed
