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.
