[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tomwatkins Good Mornin' Everybody, Chris, sorry I didn't respond sooner. Your Dad is right, the 351 Clevelands ran a lot stronger than the Windsors did. As I recall, the head design breathed a lot better and was more responsive to modifications. I thought both were considered small blocks though, with the Ford "big blocks" being the 390- 406- 427-428 and 429 engines. I may be mistaken on that. It's been a long time, and I mostly messed with Chevrolets. Tom [/quote] Tom, Messed with Chevrolets? What a waste of time!![(-D][(-D][(-D][:-,] Don't forget the 400's , whcih were just bored small blocks with Cleveland heads on them, and the 289's, which were the first engines put in the Mustang's. I've never heard of a 406, but then again the only engines I can distinguish between that you mentioned are the 289's, 302 Bosses, 351 Winsdors, and 351 Clevelands. As I can recall from car shows and TV shows about cars, Ford usually was head and shoulders above their competitors in the racing and muscle car departments, although I think Chrysler was very good in drag racing. There was just a commercial on TV that looked like it had a very caricactured NYC streamlined hudson with the 20th Century behind it. Not much (actually not any) modeling done today, I'm waiting for a running board piece from Intermountain so I can start on my covered hopper kit. [#welcome] Luct!! That is a very beatiful steamer photo in your sig., what is it, a Royal Hudson? Christopher
