Chalk one up for Henry.

That makes the "powerplant identity crisis" score something like 456,765 to 1, but at least it's a start in the right direction...

The blue oval under the hood up front was a nice touch too.

-(-1) = 1 I think it might be a positive.

I know it's kinda heresy, but I think some folks do things like that for the "uniqueness"...maybe also for the challenge of doing something that hasn't been tried much before.

There's a guy around here at a local car show with an old cxxxy p/u (early 30's?) that has a motorsport engine in it. I like it! Kind of cancels out at least one other brand in a Ford.

Most likely someone had the engine and trans already, and wanted to use it. Probably not making any kind of statement.
