I have 1968 Ford Ranger with a 360cid engine with 220,000 miles on it. I was wondering if there was anyway i could put a chevy big block in its place to increase hp and torque.I know this is a weird question but I think Chevys rule.

well my buddy works at a big truck shop.....a dude he works with is a chevy guy through and through....but he says a chevy big block just doesnt pull compaired to a big block Ford....and this is no B.S
so if you must swap....swap to an engine with ports big enough to make the engine go......BBF if any swap.
FE's still rule though.....remember that.
