Yea, when put like that it does sound weird.
It's too hard to get the Cobra Jet heads so aftermarket is the way to go over the regular stock type head. I can port the BBF head to help flow, but you gain so much more with aftermarket heads.
Next time I see you I'll explain what FORD did to improve over the BBC. It was all minor stuff .
Unfortunately FORD improved on BBC but when it came to the exhaust port they kind of.....well........missed it some. Also, the STOCK FORD rods can be thought of as a little weak.

With the right heads a BBF will match or (sometimes) exceed a BBC in power-- everything else being equal. Of course you can argue the point.

It is still cheaper to build a BBC than a BBF.
