-> In what way is it a better fit?  A 351W is taller (9.5" deck height

 But... *Dan*... the Windsor has tiny ports you can get your finger
stuck in, 8:1 compression, and an intake manifold that'd choke a VW for
air, much less feed a 351.  It *must* be better than the Cleveland, or
else everyone wouldn't be running Windsors, right?

 What?  Oh, you drop big bucks for aluminum heads, high compression
pistons, a real intake manifold...  to make it as good as a stock
Cleveland.  Hmm... couldn't you throw all that money at the Cleveland
instead?  No?  Right, all the kids down at the drive-in are running
Windsors, they're the experts...
