    which block?

    pulled a new block out of the box which was merc tagged 884-9763t61 dated 2000. its a steel liner 5 petal front. measured the ports and found tapered transfers side to side , which were 2.240 (ex side) to 2.160 (boost port side). exhaust is 1.550 / 1.600.
    is this normal fishing block specs, or is this a special grind? thanks

    The only way I’d build a Cleveland today would be for a numbers matching resto.

    Windsor all the way for anything else.

    The Cleveland heads had bigger valves and ports more like a big block head compared to two the Windsor heads back then.

    Now there are tons of much much better flowing aftermarket heads for the Windsor. And it’s lighter, etc etc

    just an all around better motor design.
