By the way, the Ford engine analysis of the Boss 302, 351C/W/M, and 429/460 are also wayyy off.
The 429/460 Big Block was designed first, debuted in 1968, and was VERY similar to the Big-Block Chevy, but better due to having NON-siamesed intake ports (equidistant spaced) that allowed for better intake distribution. The Boss 429 had special "hemi" heads. The 351C (cleveland) is a Mid-Block design with heads patterned after the 429/460 but reduced in size. VERY high RPM potential, especially with the 4V version heads. The 351W (windsor) is a true small-block that is just a taller deck than the basic Ford 302. Heads very similar to the 302. Much lower potential than the 351C without Aftermarket big-$$$ heads. The Boss 302 was a special 302 small block fitted with special 351-Cleveland heads. TERRIBLE low-end torque due to the big valve heads, but would spin up to 9000 rpm. LOUSY drag-racing engine, but good for road-racing tracks. Those things ran 15's in the 1/4 mile. The 351M was a total TURD. It was based on the tall-deck Ford 400C but had a short stroke 351W crank. It was the worst Ford engine ever produced. Worse than the turd 390.
