Funny you say that seeing how most of those high $$$ ford motors have canted valve heads on them. I cannot think of one class anywhere where a Windsor head is banned and a Cleveland head is legal. Now vice versa.......There end lies your answer. That being said the cleveland isnt for everyone, ie not your average backyard hack can throw one together and make it run, unlike a windsor.

I don't think he is planning on running in a NHRA class anytime soon. As for the Windsor kicking azz I will stand my ground based on his build and questions. He is trying to build a budget engine and the Windsor 302/351 is definitely the way to go. If you want to open it up to top fuel dragster and Pro Mod classes then your in the wrong section all together. If you pay attention to what "HE" wants you may understand my entire favoritism towards the W family.

He has little experience so again the Windsor would be my first choice to suggest to him. Like you said above: the cleveland isnt for everyone, ie not your average backyard hack can throw one together and make it run, unlike a windsor.

I honestly do not think he would be happy building a Cleveland for good power with his budget.

I realize you have no idea what I am talking about now, I wasnt talking about top fuel or any type of pro class. Simply most good heads for the bigger inch windsors are a canted valve style head such as blue thunder, Yates, CHI, Pro kings, ect...but I wont derail this thread anymore.

Yeah I understand but I read something that made me think he was building a "Budget" motor/combo.

If he has 20k then I would definitely suggest Yates or Canfields. I have a really nice set of Yates SC1 that I will let go for 6k. I also know where a very nice Nascar type engine is for $16k compete with headers, trans and converter.

I looked back and don't see what I thought I read so sorry for that. CRS is killing my old azz I guess.

Yates heads are actually not canted. I don't believe nascar allows for canted valve heads.
