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...

Here's another one, more subtle:

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.
