hi
If you Google it there will be lots of threads come up there is plenty of helpful info out there. The difference in the Cleveland & Windsor is the size and the weight look around all the info is easily found good luck |

The main reason the Windsor is used in smaller car projects is that it's narrower making it easier to fit into the engine bays of smaller cars. I'm unsure if it's lighter than a Cleveland engine.
As wombat says, Google will help. Try the search term 'Windsor vs Cleveland' and you will find as much info as you need (as well as plenty of heated discussion I suspect). Cheers Jamie |

A bloke I knew many moons ago had a 302W backed up with a 5 speed in his TD. That car was a weapon!! Ate many Torries, Brocks and XWs to XDs. Looked very tidy under the bonnet too.
