hey guys,

as most of you may know the shortblock i am getting has the pistons for a cleavor top end. so the guy i have to pick the block up from has cleavor heads and the matching intake for the swap. Should i put the "c" heads and intake onOR should i swap the pistons, reballance it all, buy windsor heads (means more searching), and the use them?

here is some info on the ehads and intake from him:

351 Track Boss intake- Single plane intake to use cleveland heads on a windsor block

4V closed chamber cleveland heads (70-71)-Manley valves, Comp cams 1.7 roller rockers, comp cams dual valve springs, new trick flow valve seals. Ready to bolt on your windsor block, new rocker locking nuts.


please let me know what you guys think.

do it..... good deal on that intake and a pretty good deal on the heads...... dont listen to what anyone else says about Cleveland heads, you'll have a fairly rare setup and those heads are getting more and more valuable. do it, you'll be happy with the outcome

whats the differnece between open and closed chambers in the heads. i need to learn about these "c" heads, i dont know anything about them. teach me

I agree go with the C heads!! They are great heads since they are the 4V heads and not the 2V ones.

^^ are you tryng to say taht i need more money than i would to do a "w" setup??

But i am looking into it, trying to learn about the "c" heads right now,l ol.

Anyone have any specs on them??

the machine work you have to do to align the coolant passages... since you dont know.... maybe you should research it

this right? on this site: http://www.themustangshop.com/clevor.cfmthey say to dril the holes. "
Head gasket and block:
Head gaskets designed specifically for swapping Cleveland heads onto the Windsor block are available from Ford's SVO department at 313-337-1536. There are 3 holes that you must drill in the Windsor block, however, to match up with the Cleveland water passages. Use the head gasket as a template to mark these holes (3 on each side), then remove the gasket and carefully drill them out."

and
That's about all that you will need to do this head swap. It's fairly straight-forward and doesn't require machine work besides drilling a few holes.You'll soon be making tons of power with your very own 351 Clevor!!
