Doug,
Cleveland heads suffer from what a lot of Ford heads suffer from, large intake ports but lousy exhaust ports. You gotta get the exhaust out before you can let the fuel in. The brand X guys figured this out back in 1955 I'm not sure if Ford has figured it out yet. Todays Windsor heads have a better combination of Intake and exhaust ports.
Of Course the Yates Cleveland heads are great but I don't think your planning on that expense.
