Need everyone's help
ok guys i need some help on arguing Fords interchangeability on another web page http://www.myoldparts.com/myweb14/disc14_toc.htm i know the windsors will swap back and forth and the FE's are all interchangeable and that a 460 will fit in place of a M when it is a automatic. please I can't think of any more and i want to make sure that I got a few things to bring to the fight

It all depends on what you consider "interchangeable".
Me personally? I think anything with a frame can have anything that I want on it...
BUt that's me. See my FTE gallery if you have any doubts...
Any year (and I do mean ANY year...) Ford truck can be mounted with any engine, transmission, or other driveline part that was ever produced, not only by Ford but by everyone else also!
This is why so many Chevies have Ford 9 inch rears in them, and cheap people sometimes drop chevy engines into T-bucket rods.
American iron is intended from the beginning to be mix and matchable...
I have never seen a training film produced by the GM corporation presented at a serious seminar or an automotive shop course however. 30 years ago when I went to autoshop classes in high school all of the films were presentred by the Ford Motor Company.
This also had an affect on my perception of vehicle complexity.
Seems to me any shade tree wrench abuser can cobble a chevy together, but a Ford is a bit more technically interesting.
- Again though, that's my personal cut on it.
