The 351 Windsor is a great motor. I had it in my previous small block SPF. I was going to go for a set of custom heads and a cam for it for the same reasons as you...until a big block (460) presented itself to me. I was blinded by the raw torque and power so I bought it and sold the SB. With 550 ft/lbs of torque, I'm sorta happy but if I were to build another, I'd put a stroked 351W in it. I think you can get around 480 hp and still be driveable around town. The extra 200 lbs or so of the BB is cumbersome when it comes to spirited driving in the twisties. I can imagine what a big difference it would be at the track. I loved thrashing the SB around in the deserted back roads. I get a little tentative when I do it with the BB.

Best thing is to have one of both?
