What do you guys think about a cleveland in a bronco?
I'm moving to alaska next year and have been looking at the type of wheeling they do. Not alot of rocks, alot of mid range and upper rpm tire clearing power needed. Looking at a high compression n/a small block built for mid range punch, say 2500-5500 rpm. I'll have my 435/205 combo in by then, prob on 38-42" tires geared/locked for tire speed instead of crawling, 4.10/4.56 etc.
I have a 351w in the truck now that's tired and I have a chance to pick up a cleveland shortblock for $100.
I'm comparing these:
351C

351W
http://www.coasthigh.com/Ford-393W-Flat-Top-4-0cc-Street-Fighter-Kit-p/10670-sf-f393w.htm
Both are rated for 600 hp, 393ci, heads are more expensive when using the cleveland, all other parts are about the same $ wise. Machine work should be nearly the same. Looking at small trickflows for the W and prob revorked 2v's for the C.
Whatcha think??
