Well, another way to look at it is .... he did start with a Bowtie.
He just discarded 80% of the Camaro and grafted a beautiful F-100 Unibody on in place?
There is so much out there for BB and SB Chevies, and a lot of cheaper parts, and some guys just find it easier to go that route. Fords have so many engine families and each differs somewhat that many find that just selecting and building Ford engines a daunting process. In my younger days, I wouldn't have hesityated in using a Chevy engine in a Ford body, older I get the more I like the idea of keeping Ford mtrs in Fords.
But I still would love to own a nice 49-50 "Fordilac" ...
... that's a 49-50 Ford Club Coupe with a mildly warmed over mid '50s 365 cu in Cadilac OHV V-8 and a set of 4 or maybe 6 Stromberg 97s .... or just a single 4bbl. I could "dig it".
