needless to say, a new excuse now


So you give shiznit for putting a GM engine in a Ford, but then you slap a 5.0 in an S-10 and paint it orange?

Hello Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle.

(If it was mine, it would proudly wear Ford engine blue AND have valve covers saying "Powered by Ford").

That is a slick Typhoon Tom...Vette wheels?

it's red, cherry red to be exact, same color as the valve covers.. the truck was originally getting painted red/satin black with charcoal gray pinstriping, but plans changed.. i'll be spraying it ford blue after i pull it out to change pistons and the cam.. it's a spit in the face for the sbc powered ford guys.. EVERY ford guy that has seen it, loves it.. even some GM guys like it, because it's different and (so far) has yet to be beaten by a sbc.. plus it fits under the hood and between the frame rails better than a sbc

Haha. I equate it to making out with a hot chick and then realizing she's got 7" swinging down below.

Hell, here's one that'll make you fellers cringe:
My old Jeep pickup...has an AMC 360. Uses a Ford type starter and alternator, Motorcraft carb, and points that cross reference to Ford.
Uses a Chevy transmission (albeit in a bolt pattern to fit the AMC block)
Has dana 44 front and rear.

ugly, stout and reliable....as long as you don't get more than 70 miles or so from a working gas pump...
