I'm looking at stabbing a Chevy 350 with a t350 trany into a 1975 Ford Ranchero.
how hard might this be? is it possable? will it work? has it been done before?
if you have any answers please let me know.

 

I had a friend do that many years back so yes you can do it but why? I know that ford parts are typically higher than the chevy counter parts but I personnally don't think that its worth all the work!

 

Personally I think that would be a damn shame but it wouldn't be hard to do. Your main problem is going to be getting the driveline angle right when you build your motor/ trannymounts.

 

WHY?,BUY AN ELCAMINO IF YOU WANT A SBC IN SOMTHING.WHY RUIN THE VALUE OF THE RANCHERO,WITH ALL OF THE UNNECESSARY WORK?

 

No doubt. By the time you make up all the stuff to put it in you could have built the motor.

 

Why 350 when you can go 1 better with a Ford 351W? Small block weight with big block power. Chevy parts should go in Chevy trucks. When I see a Chevy motor in a nice Ford body I just wanna' throw up. I cooked a Corvette with a Torino 351W so what's better about a Chevy? Nothing. Just get the adjustable rocker studs put in like the older Fords and you're good as any Chevy motor block and better. I liked the Ford block bearings design better in comparison to GM's.
