I have also hired that 351 cleveland heads will feit my 351windser I am tring piece together a 79 hach back I have a 69 C4 out of a mustang a 78 C4 out of couger windser came from same car and a few 302's not yet for sale. would it be better to use my set of 88-87 302 heads on my 351 because of the larger stock valve's?????

wow the cleavland head on the windsor , thats old school . It will work all you hafto do is drill a hole in the head to get the collant to flow out the intake ( the t-stat on the cleavland is on the block) this was done befor the SBF had aftermarket heads dont hear mutch of it aney more .
when done on a 302 the boss 302 intake will work , when done on a 351 offie makes the mannafolid you need . I dont know if the boss 351 intake will work cause I never sall one . But good luck finding aney of the mannifolds mabey in the internet age it might be a lot easyer . But get ready for some leg work .
Why not just get the rest of the cleavland , mean f****G motor , 4 bolt main ,high nickle content in the cast , 217 intake valve stock , I think the exhaust is 168 but might be off on the exhaust valve , 1.73: rocker arms and thats all stock. dude this engin can handle obsean cams with stock 4V heads and it is a not that rare of a find . THIS IS FORDS HOT ROD ENGIN

yeah I thout it was a little much. I would put a cleveland in 79 but I don't have the skills. I have put 289 heads on a windser ported polished & shaved ran a 270 comp cam with a TWO barrel,headers and some fat tires and would lite them up with no problem in a 71 stang. I'm stiel wondering about the 302 multy port heads on the windser better or worse than stock windser heads?? headers are't easy to come by for the 79 stang 5.8 but did find some could't find for the cleveland.....
