      I agree with you that more people need to be doing it, but all this kind of stuff was done every which way more than a hundred years ago. The cutting edge of experimentation isn't usually in the realm of the home garage (but there's always exceptions)

    I’m not a ford or mopar guy. I’m a Chevy guy but whenever I see videos of people modifying ford blocks to run ls heads or full custom jobs making ls heads work for a six cylinder I absolutely am intrigued and wanna watch and see if it goes successfully and I also hope it does work successfully. I absolutely love these oddball, mixing of different automakers parts. I’m absolutely fascinated by it and will support you all the way through.

      I've seen them - they're impressive enough, - I have machined and built several inline four cylinder snowmobile engines over 1000CCs from two and three cylinder snowmobile engines - but the type of work required to develop both vertically and horizontally sectioned cylinder heads was just "magic" to watch, especially at that time (early '70s)

    Great job! I recommend megasquirt as a fuel and spark management system. That will give you full control and won't break the bank.

    Insane build. That thing distorted space-time when you started it😂

    INCREDIBLE! I’d love to have this engine in my 1995 F150.
