Cool. When Jerry and I asked the dork at the Edelbrock tent at the Mustang 40th in Nashville about them, he said something like "...why anybody would bother building a Cleveland is beyond me..." He was surrounded by Chevy heads at the time, stupid items to display at a Ford event, I thought. ------------------

You know if they are making any kit to make it easier to build a clevor with these heads? (custom intake etc) Not that there would be much point seeing as they already have many heads for the Windsor, but just curious, a canted valve Windsor is always cool.

Woo hoo indeed! I have two 351C 2V's cluttering up my garage. Suddenly I find myself looking at them in a whole new light!
This idea is years and years overdue. I reckon they'll have massive sales, especially of the intake.

Sorry, not impressed. Just what we need, some more mediocre flowing aluminum heads for a cleveland. Iron 4v heads already have the capability to outflow almost ANY smallblock aluminum head on the market.And a Victor style intake for 2v heads is needed a lot worse than any dual plane. The Weiand Xcellorator already acts like a tall dual plane. But hey, whatever floats yer boat.

I'd love to see an Air Gap for the 4V heads, myself. ------------------

Preferably one priced enough cheaper than the Blue Thunder dual plane intake to make it a viable alternative.
