Rover, thanks for your interest. I'm presently working feverishly in completing the rolling chassis. It started out as replacing the head gasket on the cleveland....well you know how it goes. I have an appointment with a chassis shop to install a six point roll cage at the end of Aug and that should be it.
As far as the windsor build, I just recently started planning. I have looked at many of the engine vendors and have to agree that Coasthigh does offer alot for the buck. I decided to go with a engine builder that a friend of mine uses for his bush grand national engines. I already have the Dart block and AFR 205 heads.I am now looking at two cubic inch combinations 383 or a 408. As far as the crank rotating assembly I'm leaning towards a Crower stroker light weight with J&E pistons. Although I have to say Scat and Eagle offer alot for half the cost. Like everything else it comes down to money.
I really appreciate the information regarding the waterpump and pulley setup.I will also look at the CSI thermostat housing.This info. saves me alot of research and hair pulling!!
I have to say, you and the rest of the guys on this forum have been great in answering and offering help in my build.
Thanks again,Danno
