Yeah.... maybe. With the aluminum head that's available and a nice injection system. The problem is that it goes against the "daily driver" idea by not utilizing production parts to make it work. The Chevy 6 on the other hand would be all production, and could be worked on by any GM tech.

Still, tempting thought...

Of course, the hood on a '52-'54 Ford is tall too. Tall enough you might fit a nice small block and 6-71 under the hood, so I am thinking the new motor "should" fit...
