Well ill be d@mned, check out wikipedia.org under 351 cleveland. Apparently the windsor and cleveland do share the same bell housing. I stang corrected, i guess you learn something new every day.

RE: 351c vs.w

There is a way to do Cleveland heads on the Windsor block. Has to do with drilling some water holes in the deck (I think) but you need the correct pistons.
Do some google search searching.......
