You are essentialy driving a wedge between both heads.




Yes!

I'll add....

Anyone ever seen a 5.2 or 5.9 block split in half, right down the middle?
I've seen three.

Anyone ever seen a 5.0 or 302 block split in half, right down the middle?
I've seen like two dozen.

Same intake bolt setup.
Coincidence? Nope, don't think so.

The wedge tries to force the heads apart, overtorque it and then run it real hard + maybe add a little boost, and it makes one hell of a mess....
They're all great engines in their own right, but that bolt arrangement is not the hot setup...
