Of course a Windsor based engine is always an option and as usual we can customize any engine build for our customers wants. People are more interested in the Boss 302 concept than the Cleveor. We did this as a 3.250" stroke because the 3.400" stoke in the Boss 302 block is a terrible idea because of the short cylinders in these blocks. The stroke pulls the pistons out of the hole far enough they will rock. Another problem you will find is the short CH pistons for the 3.400" stroke and valve reliefs for a canted vale head cause the tops of the pistons to be a little weaker. As mentioned we will do this combo with the Dart Block. Longevity is no issue with the 3.250" stroke, we have hundreds of 3.250" stroke engines out there that have been being abused for years without a freshen.
Thanks
