As far as I know clevland heads won't fit on a windsor series block. They are 2 different 351 designs

302's and 351W's are both windsor small block fords. So I'd think that either the cranks or the bore size is the same.....

Actually, the Cleveland heads WILL fit, with just a little modification. The 4V heads flow very well, almost too much for a mild street engine. The ports are huge on these heads. They are great for higher RPM power. The 2V heads are good too, IMO, the best choice for a street engine. These make much better low end torque.

And yes, the Winsor blocks are almost identical, with just a different deck height.

Check out the Mustang mags. 347 and 357 stroker kits are becoming very affordable and make great power
