i really dont understand why someone would want to put a chevy powerplant in a ford if you want chevy for a cheaper build buy a chevy,otherwise spend a little more money on a ford powerplant and blow that chevy off the road,every ford that i have owned i could give it all kinds of punishment and the motors hold together,every time i would give one of the chevys ive owned a hard day i would have to fix something on it the next day,for me ford is the only way to go in a ford,dont get offended just my opinion

 

Preach on, brother...

It's really a parts availability/money thing, but I agree.
