Response to Lets see if we can get some addl. input from our old timer 351C Ford Builders

Blizz ... Cleveland heads are not hemi heads, they are too shallow to be hemi heads.

Chrysler may have had the rights to the name Hemi, I don't know. But Chrysler also invented the canted valve head, and referred to their canted valve motors as "Poly-Spherical". Motors with canted valve heads are supposed to approach the performance of motors with hemi heads without the expense of hemi heads. A poor man's hemi you see.

So somebody coined the term poly-angle head, very similar to Chrysler's poly-spherical.

If you use a 351C 4V powered vehicle for a grocery getter ... the eggs aren't going to make it home!
