I am not to up to par on 351 but I think the windsor was a truck motor and the cleavland was a mustang motor therefore the cleavland prolly had better heads, intake and so on but don't quote me on that I really have no clue about the 351's

umm, biggest motor? 460 stroker motor @ over 500 cubic inches.

the windsors are excellent motors and stand up to much punishment with little modifications. the clevelands are harder to fit into the car, and are larger in size / heavier... but also have tons more potential for building as assload of power.

then there is the clevor (boss) motors, with a windsor block and cleveland heads. this offers the best of both worlds. its small, bolts in easy, and still makes the power of the cleveland motors.

I'm pretty sure you can't run a hydraulic roller in a 351C....those are flat tappet cam motors, IIRC.

You need a .700 lift cam at the lobe with like 340* duration.

Haha, just messin with ya. 351C more than likely have their own style cam, so you probably WILL NOT be able to use a windsor cam (302 or 351w). Call up crane or comp cams talk with one of their tech guys tell em what you have done to the motor and theyll recommend a cam for you or a custom grind.
