Hence, my remarks on the Australian Cleveland heads. They're really canted valve big block heads on a small block, perfectly feeding those 427 small block cubes with a big block style head. Nothing makes the power these things can make on a stroker Windsor - not even close.
Look at the engine masters competition - the vast majority of stroker small block Fords entered are running the Aussie aluminum Cleveland heads. Look at Roush, look at Billy Mitchell, look at almost any engine builder. Their top of the line, highest output stroker Windsors are all Clevors - Windsors with Cleveland heads. There is a reason why. It's a big block head on a big block sized engine. Sure it's a bit more inconvenient - you have to buy a new intake and adapt the headers - so what. By the way, tell them you're putting the heads on a Windsor block when you purchase them and the heads will arrive all set up regarding the water passages - no big deal at all. You want massive power, or you want convenience?
