And blue ovals are showing the way! Howd ya like an FR9 under your hood?
My pal is a diehard bowtie boy and I had to educate him that even when Brand X or Yota wins that there is a 9-inch Ford underneath the race car. Hehehehe...
I'd like to see a Cup team do a rear gear change with a 12-bolt. It would be comical.

Chvy boys don't like that... especially when you point out Chevy finally got the distributor in the right location, it only took 60 years.

I feel sorry for it. Then he complains about the bad glow plugs, about the bad injectors etc. "Uhhh Hello? Anybody home?"

He must have gotten a different job or shift because I always leave before him in the mornings now so I no longer have to be witness to that beating.

Chevy redesigned their Nascar engine several years ago to keep up with the Toyota. Going away from the SBC they have so dearly loved. Again who did they copy? Ford.
The look at a Chevy R07 cylinder head... gee no resemblance here.

Along with both manufacturers copying Ford and moving the distributor to the FRONT of the engine etc. There are a lot more similarities. It's even funnier Ford has now moved on from the Cleveland/Windsor Nascar engine and developed their own clean sheet RF9.

All production based.
However, most everyone had moved away from the pushrod concept. Ford dropped the SBF for the 4.6/5.4 mod motors. Mopar didn't have a decent engine to use (318/360). Toyota didn't have anything. And Chevy wanted to drop the SB2.
Enter a clean sheet or BRAND NEW design. Usually not sharing any parts with the previous engine.
The Ford, Toyota, Dodge and Chevy engines are not based on any production engine and share no parts with any production engine.
