351w... or a stroker.... Parts a little cheaper, so if you're on a budget its the way to go imo. If you have a little more money to play with, a Clevland would definite be cool though...

Wait! Will a 351C even fit in a 65 without cutting the shocktowers out???

From what people been tellin me, YES! Thats why Im debating what I should go with. I guess the C. exhaust points downward, rather than heading straight for the shock tower like a Windsor.

Or do a 351W stroker and put CHI heads/intake on it. They make Celveland style heads for windsor family engines. That way it'll fit easier, have a bit more aftermarket support, and be something different from most everyone else. http://www.chiheads.com/
