Based on what others have said previously, Windsors are getting harder to find as well.

Cleveland anyway.

it really depends on the aplication and what you're doing up...

ya wouldnt put a windsor into an XB, and you probably wouldnt fit a clevo if you were doing up an EB - AU

Definitley Windsor. Has a zillion times more aftermarket. Its the 2nd most aftermarket suppoed engine in the world, after the Gen1 Small-Block Chevy.

You build an entirely-aftermarket Windsor 400ci+ with 2000hp+ using no custom parts, just off-the shelf stuff. Not many engines can challenge that parts availablity, certainly not the only-Aussies-like-it Cleveland.

All the Windsors in engine masters competition had CHI Cleveland heads.
