Cleveland vs Windsor strokers

[cazsper]

I have a lot of experience with Windsors and Windsor based strokers. Now that I have my '73 Mach-1, I am making plans for an engine rebuild. I currently have a 393w in my '68 coupe with the following specs:

393w

10:1 compression

AFR-205 heads

232/240 @ .050 hyd/roller cam

Edelbrock Air Gap intake

Deamon carb 750cfm

If I were to stroke a 4v Cleveland with similiar specs (displacement, compression, cam, intake), should I expect at least similar results (hp/TQ) if not more?

Chime in Tnfastbk!

I certainly don't intend to start a Windsor vs Cleveland debate. But the AFR heads are much better than even the Edelbrocks and I would assume the added displacement would work better with the 4v heads.

You misunderstand. Roy did a 408 Cleveland with AFR's he can tell you about anything you need to compare to.

I understand. I just wanted to make sure everyone I wasn't trying to open a can of worms..

Hell no! I think any engine or engine part can be built for performance. Just add time, money and imagination.

Mine has AFD heads and runs a little better than stock. I think Chuck posted dyno number from his not to long ago.

See post #1 for my 408C with factory iron 4V heads. Sorry it is sideways. Chuck
