REVENGE OF THE WINDSOR!

摘要

When it comes to big power in a compact and lightweight package, there is nothing more tempting than building an engine starting with a top-shelf aluminum block. If there is any drawback, the cost factor can put such ambitions on the sidelines. For Ford Windsor fans, the Z351 block from Ford Racing has dramatically improved the situation, with fresh aluminum blocks at the mid-$3,000 price bracket. While not exactly budget in comparison to yanking a 9.5-deck iron Windsor from an old pickup truck, this puts building an all-aluminum Windsor within the realm of serious consideration for many enthusiasts. Now, you can bet we are not going to fool around with a fat aluminum block Windsor to build a 400hp street cruiser. No, step up to this level of the game and you will want to fill the block with parts for big power.
