There is, of course, the "Clevor" option...Cleveland style heads with a Windsor block, thereby offering the benefits of the canted valve design and the priority main oiling routing of the Windsor design...but that combination can be tricky with the valve-train geometry.
The Boss 302 was a splendid example...but in my dream world the combination would be an alloy aftermarket 4-bolt main 351W block stroked to 427 CID (a common build) with the alloy CHI Cleveland style heads...best of both worlds!!
