nope they are different. A cleveland basically is a BB engine where as the windsor is a small block. The cleveland was a very good engine but there are more aftermarket parts for the windsor thatnks to the 302 H.O. and the fact that the windsor was in production for so many years as apposed to the clevelands 4 year run.
Nooooo, the Cleveland is a small block, it's a common misconception. It shares the small block bellhousing bolt pattern same as the 289-302-351W. The 351M-400 are the big block, the 351M is a destroked 400. There has been many a debates about this on several forums.
a cleveland is what they call a "midblock engine" It is different in just about everyway from the windsor blocks and to be honest, stock for stock .....is better in just about every catagory until the aftermarket comes in.
This is true. I like that you said just about because the cleveland has 2 main oil gallery's where as the windsor has 3. The oiling of the windsor is a much better design.
Simple restrictor kit and external feed line solve the problem..I know guys who run cleveland with 450+hp and no oiling mods so its not that bad of a problem. Anyhow just messing around about the long tubes...I already have a set of 1 7/8" LT on the car....
I'm just saying that between the 2 designs the windsor has the better set up. The ford engineer's did it better with the windsor then the cleveland well as far as the oiling goes.
you could also look at the fact that there is a reason why one stuck around until the 90s and the other didnt!
