Note that Ford built several special motors based on standard production blocks
302 Boss 302 block with 351C heads. Boss 302 mustang and Couger Eliminators
427 Cammer 427 sideoiler (FE) block with special Single Overhead Cam Hemi heads. Never in a production car.
Boss 429 429 Block(385 series) with custom aluminujm heads with Hemi chambers. Only in Boss 429 Mustang
All other Ford Motors with special names like Boss 351, 428 Cobra Jet etc were basically high performance versions of standard passanger car motors.
One thing that confuses most Chevy guys is the Ford Small Blocks as the 221, 260 and 302 share blocks and most parts while the 351W uses the same heads as a small block(with bigger head bolts) but not much else will interchange. The Chevy small block uses interchangable parts(heads, intakes, distributors,
oil pans) up to the 400. Then Ford has the Cleveland (335 series) that shares no parts with the windsor series and actually uses a few 385 series parts like distributor.
