I want to know hom many people have a Ford in their Ford and who are the "darksiders" with chevy motors in them.


The reason i'm writing this is because I had a heated debate with the 48-60 forum guys and they all seamed to have chevys in their Fords. About 3 of them had Ford engines

 

im one of those that dont believe in imbreeding trucks,if it says ford it should run a ford same with all the rest

 

Ford truck....Ford Engine.....why mess with what Vishnu Intended,

 

Yea i have to agree, Ford in a Ford, is the best way to go. I'm sure Henry Ford would hate to see his ex-worker's (chevy) engines in his trucks.

 

Heated debate? NOT! nuge came over to the 48 to 60 forum looking for a fight. He was insulting anyone that didn,t have a ford engine in their truck. A few members (myself included) told him to tread lightly, because we have quite a few good friends on the forum with other brand engines in their trucks. And while we don,t promote brand X engines in fords. As a whole, we believe in "it is your truck, build it like you want".

p.s. most of the guys telling nuge to cool it have ford engines, me included. We were just trying to get him to play nice.

 

I think you are lost, this is the 67-72 forum, I was not lookin for a fight. they said that that truck was not a Ford adn I replied as long as it has a Ford motor in it, it is. Thats when they started in, if they didn't want my opinion then this isn't your place. I just gave them my 2 cents and they started into my S**t i was just tryin to defend myself

 

Rermember Pee Wee Herman, he had a bowtie look what he was doing to his meat, same with bowtie chebbie owners in my book. I've had chebbies, dodge, amc, buick and olds hence why I own FE powered vehicles. To bad mouth other brands without owning them for years each isn't a fair evaluation.

 

to each there own, its your truck put in what you want.

i personnally dont like or particularly like to see a ford chopped up with a chevy in it. i have owned all brands and like them all for one thing or another.

it just dousent inspire me at all to see "another SBC AGAIN" in something. but i can understand the cost savings and such. like i said to each his own, its just not my preferance.

 

Build your truck into anything you want. I want a Ford motor in my Ford truck.

 

If you look at it like most builders do, cost is everything. I am a OEMer in what ever type vehicle you have. However, I do have a few parts on my truck that started life in something else. Like my Dodge radiator, Chevy HEI style distributor and brake calipers as a few examples. They were cost effective at the time or the kit required that specific part. Just some food for thought.

 

Ford in a ford for me i prefer that not a chev engine

 

Guys....CHILL.....it is OK to have a different motor in a ...well whatever ...goodness me...

 

Tim, It may be ok with you but it aint for the most of us residents of this forum.

lol....Yeah! Who votes "no" up there...let's find 'em and burn 'em at the stake!

 

Nothing worse than looking under the hood of a flat out gorgeous old Ford street rod then find the motor was installed backwards with Mr. Dizzy in the back.
By then your appreciation of said gorgeous Ford street rod goes from a love it high to a low of how can they do this to old iron. I must be set in my ways.
