in my town we have three local car shows a year and the is a clean 65 custom cab step side pearl white with a 350 and Muncie four speed runs as good as it looks and he says he wouldn't have it any other way it's not the way most of us would go but hey it's your truck no one else's me and my bro are putting a 5.0 ho t5 trans in a 88 camaro just to watch the local camaro club cry hahaha

 

Actually if I see a ford with a Chebby engine in it at a show n shine or in a magazine I lose interest fast, but hey it's your truck do with what you wish. Definitely not my thing.

I just get sick when I see ads or hear of plans for people to stuff a SBC in a non Chevy. Sadly I saw the results of this first hand some years back. A neighbor guy imported a 1956 M-100 from Canada, all original, with the Mercury badgings & tailgate. heavil weatherworn (not much rust) but rock solid. The old 272 cranked up with the familiar groan and fired to life. It was a beautiful sound, lifters & all. But thats where it all ended. He informed me he was going to make it all Chevy mechanical and put it on a Chevelle frame--which he did. He even cut out the original dash & put a 1970-something Camaro dash in it.
Needless to say I never spoke to him again after he revealed his original plans but saw the truck at a cruise meet and just about threw up.

 

Old thread. OP posted in 2011, never got much help from any of his posts, even the ones where he was trying to get help with his Ford engine and trans.

 

didn't notice the age of the post. It somehow showed up on my junk email today.
