i say go for it, since you're already planning on finishing your stang for this year and completely redoing the bird.. 2V heads pop up on CL all the time around here

This is not much more than a what-if scenario....but if I find a set of C 2v heads...I'll snap 'em up.

I probably wouldn't use M heads since the egr kind of defeats the whole purpose.

Someday I'll assemble a 351 Clevor, but not anytime in the very near future. :)

As far as the 'Bird, I'm totally committed to stripping it and cleaning, blasting and painting every piece and part that I can take off. It's not a daily, nor does it need to be, and I have plenty of room as soon as I at least get the harnesses and 5.0 swapped inito the Stang. Meanwhile, the other 5.0HO I have on the stand that is to become my GT40P build...has some issues. See my Sport thread for details/pics of that...

I'm going to swap the Stang 5.0 that's currently in the Sport now into the Mustang here in the next couple of weeks, but it's going in with NO mods. Just as-is. I'm going to use my 5.0 bell, but keep the 2.3 T5 since my 5.0's transmission has some issues and needs gone through and whatnot.

I'll probably use the Stang as my daily till it gets cold this fall, then switch back to the truck. All it needs at this point is a steering rack and tail light lens and it's cosmetically acceptable. (as much as a Fox Stang can be considered acceptable lol)

there's also the option of running a boss 302 intake.. you would just have to get the intake drilled to run it EFI with a 4 barrel TB or an elbow with a single blade TB

Or buy the fuel injected clevor intake trickflow came out with. Looks just like a regular 5.0 injected intake. You will have more money into the carbed intake, pistons and machine work though. You would be better off with aftermarket sbf heads and rebuilt or stroked motor.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

I personally have never read or experienced anything wrong with the Clevelands the way they came, IMO they were very durable straight from the factory!

But to be honest have never read or heard about putting cleveland heads on a windsor, it does sound interesting. I have read about building a Boss 302 with the 4V heads though, and actually have everything to build one except the intake.

Good luck finding one. I haven't found an aftermarket company that makes one yet. I like to build a boss 302 with aussie 2Vs.
