Ford (Aust) dropped the windsor in favour of the cleavland, Becase the cleavland breathed better than the windsor due to its oposed valves. Much the same as a hemi, or a chrysler poly. It strikes me as no suprise to find so many folk on this site to be mopar enthusiests, being as we all have the good sense to own dattos. ( common sense, and a nose for SUPERIOR engineering just seems to prevail) Go look at the crank shaft pulley on a chev motor at idle, it hops all over the place, a chrysler donk's one runs as straight as a die. The blokes who designed chevs were drop outs who weren't fit to design the sump bung on a mopar engine by comparison.
There is an old saying in hot rodding circles, "old hot rodders don't die, they just go to work for chrysler".
This is why mopar stuff is just BETTER!!!.
What other 30+ year old NA motor can match a 351c on the 1/4, with nearly 100 cubes less???????? Not many, if any!!!!!!! I don't know any!!!!!!!! (Yes that is a bit borrowed from scribe)
At the end of the day, the MOST sh!t kicking motors are built br chrysler!!!! Regardless of if the chambers are "a bit like chevs" the motor that did he businuss came from the chrysler, and was designed by Tom Hoover, who was on the chrysler payroll. Who do you think Keith Black worked for prior to building after market drag motors? NOTHING has the WOW factor of a chrysler hemi V8. If it wasn't for the shocking price of petrol, I never would have taken to driving our dearly beloved Dattos.
