RE: cleavland heads?
tyoo much work for not enough of a return.... its not worth it IMHO.. plus you will have to swap out to a special intake (which is hard to find)
get a set of gt-40's, or gt-40p's... other than that you could search for some WINDSOR D0OE heads... in fact, a friend of mine has a set for sale right now. hes looking for $300, they are completely rebuilt... 1.94" intake valves, 3 angle valve job, new springs, studs, and everything

Performing the swap requires some minor machining and a special intake manifold to mate the Cleveland-style heads to the Windsor block. The 351C employs vastly different cylinder heads, with canted valves, than the 289/302/351W, the pistons are designed for a different combustion chamber. The 351C was available two basic ways: with four-barrel heads with large ports and closed wedge chambers, or with two-barrel heads with smaller ports and open chambers. The 4V heads perform best at high revs, making the most of those huge intake ports and high-compression wedge chambers. It does not make a good street head because torque is available only at high rpm. The 2V heads sport smaller, more street-friendly intake ports and open chambers for lower compression, facts that make the 2V head more useful on the street where good low-end torque is needed. The 2V head was also used on the later 351M and 400M engines

RE: cleavland heads?
I started a cleveland project when I fell victim to an impulse buy at a junkyard ($75 for a Cleveland block)...So then I started trying to find parts. Summit doesnt even carry heads for the cleveland, so when i saw how much money I was gonna be dropping and the pains I would have gone thru finding parts, I just gave the block to my neighbor when I moved out of my house. I drug that thing to 2 houses and one storage unit and I absolutley refused to drag it to the next house. I considered using it as a boat anchor but my boat wasnt big enuff.
