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!!!

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.

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

Don't forget the variable speed windscreen wiper (hand operated) anything from very slow or as fast as you can move your hands as well as the intermittent option.

Oh, and lets not forget the built-in navigation system, Wife in the front seat or Mother in-law in the rear seat.

YEP, I even saw pics of it, in a Ford storage building!
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.

So how did Chevy get the design from Ford?

Y-Blockhead · 11-05-2015, 05:48 PM

Don't know about Ford design but the SBC valve train (with stamped steel rockers) was "borrowed" from Pontiac.
