The Dodge brothers were the ones to cast up Fords' (early - including, I think, some T) engines, along w/some other intricate parts. Don't know when Ford took over machining/assembling, much less casting, the various parts to make a complete mill, but it was some time around when Ford bought out the Dodge Bros, so's he could have complete control. (Can't remember when Fords' Rouge plant came online - iron ore & trees in, complete cars out.)
The Chevrolet brothers made (aftermarket) parts for Fords (T & A{which also fit the B & C}) so they could go fast, esp on the dirt tracks, board tracks, & Indy. & of course, so did other hot rodders.
There wasn't all that much "Ford" in a Ford, back then. Depends on what time frame we're talking here, of course. More so than a lot of other makes, but still...
So you wouldn't be all that wrong to put a non-Ford emblem on the grill shell. +, "Who in 'H' really cares, anyway?" ... .

I know a fella that had t- bird valve covers made for a chevy engine he put in a 32 ford. Now that is a head scratcher.

Maybe the same one is down here now. There is a red 32-ish pickup Ford running a sbc with T Bird valve covers on it. The owner bought the car done and those were on it. He said the PO spent a lot of time making them fit.

That is a good question. Mine is off a 29-30 Chevy. It has a couple bad spots, looks like it was crumpled a bit and straightened back out, but I figure its 80 years old, its allowed to have some character! I traded a set of 54 chevy spindles for it.
They pop up from time to time on ebay.
