For me the 429/460 is a bit to big and heavy but they are a good truck motor so you can pull your Cobra around on the trailer...
i know a guy who drag raced Clevelands and was blowing them up on a regular basis and was spending twice the money everybody else was because they where running Windsors.
he had talked about building a windsor with the Cleveland heads but the cost was a little more than he thought it was worth and never built it...
if you want to run it wide open all the time then thats fine BUT i just dont see it being a good street motor...those heads have ports you can drop a golf ball througt...
i think you could build a better street/race motor with Windsor heads and have a motor
that will live longer and run stronger....but what do i know i'm not an engine builder...
just your ordinary average guy..
