Reply to "Advantages / Disadvantages of building a Clevor for the pantera."

The Windsor has a better oil supply system compared to the Cleveland. However, the mains are larger and therefore crank surface speed is larger than a Cleveland at the same RPM, so this limits the Windsor slightly....

Some have been known to run bearing reducers in the block and then use the 351C crank!

351W's have a LOT more parts available in the aftermarket.

Clevors: I believe that the biggest obstacle to doing this is finding a Street Boss or Track Boss intake made by B&A back when. I believe that someone had retooled for them and was making them again. Not sure how large the run was! Place in MO I believe....I bought gaskets from them when I put Aussie heads on my 302.

The changes to the 351 heads are very simple, including drilling the intake surface to allow water to circulate into the wet intake manifold.

The Aussie 2V heads would be a natural with flat-tops or small dished pistons in a 351W.

If I ever find an intake, I'm gonna be considering it big time!

Exhaust: You can run your stock 4V headers on a Clevor, or with the Aussie heads!

I know someone with a good 1969 block if anyone is interested.
