while very true, if you really want one, you can get your hands on one.
Meh...I think the cleveland is a bit overhyped and find it to be more of a status thing because you have a rare block with overpriced components available for it. As for actual output advantage there really isn't any.

In fact you could build a comparable Windsor for much less than the Cleveland

Why? waste of time money and gas all around.

350 is far superior and much more reliable at full build and if you want to get really badass with higher rpms you go 327 which is the same as the 350 with less bore and stroke pretty much and puts the 350 to shame.
