No. No, it is not. So don’t even bother and just bask in it.

The icing on the cake would be if those are Chevy mills.

Agreed. Sadly they are Ford powerplants. But you raise an interesting point... why so many SBC swaps into old Fords? That always annoys me.

Looks like it’s AWD, too. That’s awesome. I think the enormous aftermarket and ease of maintenence/mods is what led to the ubiquity of the SBC, sort of like how everything and it’s mother has a Ford rear end. Tested, known, cheap, available.

Oh I agree that’s why it’s a popular swap plant. But it doesn’t seem significantly harder or more expensive to build a good 302 or 351. Just something I’ve always wondered about.

In terms of early Fords it's also size. Every post Y block Ford motor requires a recessed firewall to fit into say a 32-34 ford. Where a small block chevy will just fit without getting the cutting torch and welder. My 33 ford pickup has a 350 SBC in it with a stock firewall and it just barley fits. My grandpa bought a 34 ford coupe that had a 302 ford in it had a recessed firewall and it was still snug. We pulled the 302 and was able to drop a Chevy 348 W head big block in its place.
