Yep, this guy pisses everyone off by putting Chevy heads on a 351W.

That’s so wrong! Interesting but wrong! Make a Clevor instead out of the Ol Windsor. That’s right didn’t Ford supposedly copy big block Chevy on the canted valve Cleveland heads? If they did then they perfected that design!
Oh the horror.
This is actually kind of interesting.
Where’s that video of a 351 Cleveland installed in either a Camaro or maybe a firebird?
When I finish the cougar, that might be the next project, certainly more unusual then anything else.
I don’t mean that one where it’s in a 240Z. It’s in an actual GM vehicle.
I can’t find it.
Heck the GM people are always stealing Ford 9" rear ends. Why not go for broke?
There are perfectly good aftermarket cylinder heads for small block fords, usually made by the same people who make Chevy heads sold side by side.
I always wanted to put a 460 in a 69 Chevelle, paint it orange and put a bowtie on the valve covers. Just tell the Chevy idiots that’s an experimental big block engine. Most wouldn’t know the difference.
There used to be a guy with a 460 powered 1969 Firebird who did very well at Texas Motorplex with it. I think it was going low 11’s in street trim. Have not seen it in 25 years so it may or may not still be around.
The only year I went to Carlisle All-Ford weekend, I saw a guy on the show field with a small block Ford swapped into a C3 Corvette. I don’t know what C.I. the engine was though.
Years ago Revell issued a model kit of a 69 Corvette “429”. One model builder took a Boss 429 from another kit and built the Corvette with the Boss.
