ok, so i have a 1973 mustang grande with a 351c and i already have my 351w to drop in, but the problem is everyone tells me no one makes headers for a 351w. i wanna know if this is true, or if i should maybe stick with my cleveland. any help is great, thanks.

because i've been told that there are more performance parts for the 351w than the cleveland

that could make sense since its a more comon engine. would it be possible to put your cleveland heads on the windsor block? i know my uncle did it... but that was on a late model race car.

Ok, this is one of those pieces of info you seem to retain but cant remamber why or where you got the information.
I seem to recall that of the cylender heads that were offered stock for the cleveland the 2V offered better performance than the 4V. I can only guess that it has to do with intake velocity, but again I dont even know where I learned this. Ive never worked on a ford other than a 302 so I cant offer first hand advice. If you can use the heads try to verify the whole 2V vs 4V issue.
