not really. the rods are different length, 5.78" for the C and 5.95" for the W. the pistons have a different height to the top ring because of the notched bore in the C, and the valve reliefs are different too. it shouldn't be any problem at all to appropriate the Cleveland specific parts, try Jeg's and Summit online. i see pistons and rods on Ebay all the time. also, support your local speed shop if they are priced competetive. take a look in the classifieds too. http://www.network54.com/Forum/215649

the W and C bellhousing bolt patterns are the same. a W bell will work as long as the trans will bolt to it and is the proper depth for the input shaft of the trans. make sure the throwout fork is compatable too.
