I guess I forgot to mention I was looking at a clevor build, not that it would change anythingFor the cost of a Cleveland vs the cost of a Windsor... The Windsor wins every single time. A friend of mine has a small fortune wrapped up in his 408 cleveland stroker with a badass set of aluminum heads and it runs no better than a 357 windsor with a set of old beat up high ports
that would change a lot because you would not need to repair the clevelands bad oiling system if you used a windsor.I guess I forgot to mention I was looking at a clevor build, not that it would change anything
I was just kicking around the idea of making a clevor on the cheap. I know @NIKwoaC always talked them up. Stock bottom end W, $500 pistons, DIY FI intake, $500 in cam/valvetrain. Nothing fancy, just a cool factor that makes a few more HP than what I have now and on the cheap. Not to mention - You could do a solid roller setup and take it to 7-7500 rpm and it'll really honk from what I've read between last night and today. Please feel free to correct any misinformation.
I'm too young for nostalgia (being 27.) I'd do it to be different.yes you can build them cheap because the heads are cheap. basic 2v geads but you want to run rhe aussie cleveland heads because they have a better and smaller combustion chamber so you can run flat top pisrons.
flatlander racing might be cheap for pistons.
if you use the us 2v heads then you can run a lightly larger intake valve.
if you port them a little they will flow a lot but work decent as is for a moderate build.

there is nothing in the world wrong with 4v heads on a cleveland. i have had a ton of them and several boss 351's which was one of the fastest production cars in the us in 71 and i can assure you, they haul ass.
if you're an rpm freak, i would get some lite weight scat i beam rods and lite weight rods and lite weight intake valves from manley. it will turn more rpm and build rpm more quickly than with stock stuff.
as far as wanting a clevor for nastalgia, they never had efi on them so adding that eliminates the nostalgia factor in which case i would just use windsor 4v heads and cheaper kb hyper pistons.
Boss 302 what?Clevor is a best of both worlds maybe? Nothing beats a canted valve head on a wins or!
Trick Flow offers a lower intake without the need for adapters in either a 351C:I found a place that sells adapter plates that lets you run C heads and W intakes. Pricey, and I bet they can be made at home cheaper.
