[DeTomaso] Cleveland vrs Windsor

[Dan Courtney]

Jack,

The shop will be tearing it down and magging parts later this week.
This shop is telling me the Cleveland four bolt is no big deal, smaller 
bolts and the drilling actually weakens the cast. They are endorsing a 2 
bolt main Cleveland, as they say the Cleveland's hardly ever have main 
bearing issues.
The deceased engine has part numbers D2AE-CA and the heads are D7AE.
