Vette Dude: I got two speeding tickets yesterday.
Model A Dude: It's my life long ambition just to get one.
Vette Dude: If I had a dollar for everytime someone waved at me I bet I'd have a hundred bucks
Model A owner: If I had a hundred bucks I'd buy another Model A
So are you saying that one of Ford's designs for their first overhead V8 resembled Chevrolet's first V8 design? If so, just a coincidence. Engineers come up with all kinds of experimental designs that never make production.Just because someone has a different car doesn't make them WEIRD! It's more fun to ADMIRE their car & get them talking. We might LURN SOMETHING & meet some really FINE & interesting folks. If you're gonna' be a TURD, go lay in the YARD.
Did you know that the SBC design was almost chosen to replace the Ford Flathead V-8, in 1954? It was designed by FORD ENGINEERS!!!

I tell people my 1928 roadster pickup has cruise control (throttle),keyless entry (no door locks),air conditioned (plenty of fresh air)and 21"wheels that are in style today

It's FUN to tell a Hot Rodder or a Chev. owner, that his engine was DESIGNED BY FORD
"GOOGLE" it & see if you can pull up any info on it.

The CHINESE are not the only ones who are MASTERS AT COPYING STUFFDon't know about Ford design but the SBC valve train (with stamped steel rockers) was "borrowed" from Pontiac.
