David,
You are correct. Availability of aftermarket parts, particularly blocks, heads,
pistons, cranks etc., most of which have engineered out the weak points
in the production stock parts have made building a stronger performance
engine easier. The Windsor is a good example. The Cleveland has all except
the block as of right now, but a new, improved block is in the process of
being built and should be available within the next calender year. However,
the Windsor is a much more proven application due to these aftermarket
parts availablility for a few years now. And, we acknowledge, the Cleveland's
a rather limited market, comparitively speaking. The 335 series is a good
alternative for anyone with a stockpile of parts or a restoration project.
Musclecars and Panteras for example. The limited but profitable market is
out there for these applications. As far as cobras go, its just an alternative
for those of us who want something different.
Bob T.
