I put a 1970 351C with Cobra Jet heads in a 1973 Mercury Capri. The intake runners and valves were gigantic for a "small block" - nearly as large as a big block Chevy. The size of the runners restricted low end torque which wasn't a problem on the light weight Capri.

These engines would really make power in the upper RPM ranges and I believe they were used for NASCAR Fords at the time after CID was restricted to 355.
