I dunno man. SOME chevy products are decent and all, but im still not for mixing around like that.

The only time I can see that being ok, IMO, is with diesels. Ford didnt make their own diesel in the super duty line of trucks so its fair game!

Small block Chevyies 283, 327, 305, 350, 355, 396 etc. They simply fit better in a old Ford truck believe it or not then any other motor out there. Also there are a S*** load of aftermarket parts for them.

I`m not sure about that, did you ever look under the hood of the T? A 302/351 with a short water pump would fit better.
