I understand how it started, Ford only had the Flatheads back then, but in the last 20 years 302s and now other Ford engines have been plentiful. The excuse has been removed.

I think people use Chebby engines in old cars because of the availability. There were millions of 350's made and you can still buy crate motors at a good price. The 302 is a great engine but IMO, it ain't no 350. Performance parts are easier and cheaper to get for a Chevy as well with a much larger aftermarket. Look on ebay for a 4bbl intake manifold for a 352 and then look for one for a 350.
I wouldn't do it but I see why some would.

Barrett-Jackson and Mecum seem to have seen an increase in the prices of stock trucks.

If you look at the 4x4 and the two tone grey/silver truck, the hoods do not line up with the cowl on the cab. My trucks have done this and my fathers truck does to. I can push mine down at that spot, but when I drive down the road it pops back up.

I read that and plan to do it when I get ready to paint my unibody this summer. I also liked what another member on here did when he got his doors aligned. I can not remember who he is but his truck is gorgeous. He drilled the hinges and pinned them in place once aligned. When they come off for paint and go back on, it is an easy alignment. It is pure genius.
