There are alot more aftermarket parts for a 351w than for a cleveland.The stock heads for a cleveland are supposed to be real good they have canted valves which are pretty big and the intake and exhaust ports are huge.I have a buddy that lives down the street that is building a cleveland using the 4 barrel heads and some headers andsome basic bolt ons going into a gutted 86'.He says hell be running in the 8's.

the cleveland is considered more of a big block. you can use the same heads from your 302 on a windsor or vise versa and i also believe the cleveland has a slightly different stroke and bore than the windsor im not sure someone back me up here
