When I was watching barrett Jackson car auction on TV, they were talking about how come so many Chevy motors in Ford rods, Even though they did say the 350 is a quality motor, the 350 is simply easier to squeeze into a old car then a comparable Ford made motor.

The 350 is easy to install and work on and whatnot, and was a good engine, but what about the 302/351w? Plus to boot they are ford motors!!!

That`s the old Hollywood for you.
Now alot of people are beyond that and more than ever 302`s are being used.
While the sbc is slightly shorter there is a short shaft water pump for the 302, I don`t remember where to get one but they are available. Another idea to save space is a compact electric fan that is very commonly used now.
The 302/351 are very sweet motors with alot of potential for modifying, plenty of speed equipment availble so there is no reason to use anything less than Ford motor.

I forgot about the modifying ability of the 302/351 motors too. There is just tons of parts for them available now.

There was a 351/418 stroker at Cruise in a 56 F100.
