Sticking with a Windsor offers all the benefits of not having to cut and weld engine mounts, or replace front springs, and all that other misc. blah blah blah...
But regardless, I'd go that way LONG before I'd consider any GM engine (even one that is a technically superior base platform...  ) |
You could always create a hybrid - put FE valve covers on the Windsor with adapters.
