Neither is better. The 351 Cleveland develops more power in stock form, but the Windsor can be built to make just as much power. The Cleveland parts are more expensive and harder to come by. The Windsor is a more reliable engine. In the old days the Cleveland was the way to go, but today I would go with a Windsor and aftermarket heads. You will have a powerful, reliable, engine.

What is the spark plug gap for a 289 windsor?

Ford didn't produce a 289 Windsor. EDIT: Actually.... The Windsor is the Ford small block V8 engine family, so yeah they actually did produce a 289 Windsor. People usually don't refer to it as a Windsor though since there wasn't an alternate 289 ci displacement engine, such as with the 351 (Cleveland and Modified, which are big blocks). Windsor just designates the Ford family of small blocks. And sorry, I know all that is irrelevant to your question. I just wanted to correct misinformation. The plug gap for a 289 is .034
