What's wrong with this picture?

That is what it looks like, and those are what they look like, and the bore spacing is so close and the bolt patterns are so close that it's essentially a bolt-together. The only minor, tiny, little, niggling problem is that the valve order is reversed so a custom cam is required.

On the other hand, a reverse rotation cam for a boat should work just fine...

The first one is missing 4 valves on the driver side head. I don't know Fords well, does the distributor go through the intake? Looks like a chunk of metal under the distributor.

Or is it more subtle?

On the second one, I swear the back half of the car looks like a Maverick

The first one looks like LS1 heads on on a Ford. Those intake ports are a dead giveaway. That's crazy that it works.

I agree with MostMint on the 2nd -- not sure I would've caught that.
