Well, just talked to the engine shop today where my Pantera is currently at. I just learned that my Windsor is a Cleveland. It still has the aluminum heads, but I guess I am not sure exactly what they are. I thought I knew before, but then I thought The block was a windsor as well.
I not really sure if I should be happy about this news or not. It doesn't look like there is much in the way of aftermarket parts available. But perhaps this is the correct engine for my car. Does this help in value?
I do have a couple of questions about my new found discovery.
First, what is the difference between the 2V and the 4V Clevelands?
Are these blocks a four bolt main?
Can I assume from reading and from talking with George that these aluminum Cleveland heads are about as good as it gets for the ford small block?
What are acceptable leak down numbers on a Pantera? Where should the percent numbers be to be considered good or acceptable?
Well, thanks for any input.
Steve
