[RACER X #99]

The biggest users of Cleveland engines has always been Nascar. They set many speed records but they did not last long. The oiling systwm was not very good for sustained high speeds and many engines blew even with dry sump systems. When they finally started using the Windsor block with the Yates heads (not Cleveland) they became competitive and started to win against the sb Chevys. Now that Dart and Word products produce an even bettter Windsor I see no point (in racing) to use the Cleveland. For a street engine the Cleveland is fine.
