[QUOTE="cbr repsol, post: 11400110, member: 44079"] Lucky for u I know a lot about push rodded motors. If it were me again I would still stick with the windsor. they are much much more plentiful than the clevland(cheaper) & a lot more off the shelf parts. I built a 393 w with a probe rotating kit...damn good motor. Another pro to the 393 is you dont have to clerance the block or clerance the bottom of the cylinders. That kit just drops right In no problem...my suggestion is to get a 74 or older block(69 is the first year) they have much more material in the main areas. U can get some really nice afr heads to really help that motor breath. 2.05 intake valves 1.60 exhaust. Also when u order your rotating assembly make sure u tell them where the bearing tangs are located or u will get bearings that dont fit..they have a couple different styles and if u dont specify u get the newer year bearings..also block identifacation for 69 will be c9 for the first couple #s so u know u have a 69. 70s is indicated with a d...so d1 would be a 71 bock ect. As op mentioned earlier clevlands suffer from oil starvation..if u address the problem u are all good..dont get me wrong they are great motors as well but will cost u more in the long run. If u got any more questions p.m. me or my # is 909 6930791 Dwight [/QUOTE]
