Why is that and how is that? So I have the original 70 block and matching heads. So hypothetically even though it’s from a ford mustang and I run it in my mustang in GT/QA or PA and say it’s a “mercury” engine I could run a 4150? Who checks this by the way? Forgive me for all the questions I’m new!
