Matters not what you or I want to call it or what the calculator says, fact is they are 5.8's, I've never seen or heard of any old 351 Clevos and Windsors badged or called 5.7s, even by Ford themselves.....certainly none of mine (7), if anyone said they have a 5.7 in there Landau most enthusiasts would probably vomit first then want to know why they put a Chevy in it!, but hey if you and your calculator want to try and change history go for it
