FORD IN A CHEVY

Saw this today in a classic trucks mag and had to share, sorry the pics are sideways. What caught my eye was I noticed the engine had the distributor in the front...I was like "no way" then I read the article and It just made me smile. Its got a 351 windsor with a AOD trans...Priceless

Its a Beautiful thing!! Gearheads have been so used to Chevy motors in everything.

My problem is I like a Ford in a Ford... Like a nice 35 3 window coupe with a Flatty or nice 302 Ford . Or a 40 Pick up with a nice Flat can't get no better than that!!

Oh I said my problem. Well its not a problem Really!! Just saying.
Now out to my 51 with a ford motor.

LOL. I have 2 friends (husband and wife) who are die hard chevy fanatics. They own a 50 chevy truck. I just sent those pics to her and asked her to show them to him and record how many seconds it takes before he starts cussing.

Yeah I believe it is the latest issue. I think in the article he said the truck had the ford engine in it when he bought it.
