The reason Ford dumped the Cleveland was because of the poor oiling system. When the Nascar Ford guys started using Windsor blocks with Yates designed Cleveland heads they turned those engines into winners. There is no doubt the Clevelands work better at high rpms as the racers turn them to over 9,000 rpms. In real life on the street where most Cobras live, most well built Windsors will kick the Clevelands ass everyday and also the FE's.
