Ford Exp or an old Capri

The Tickford or Lazers are ok... a bit over-done IMO..

A std 2.8i or RS3100 would be nice.

Ahhhh, you guys made my day!!! I haven't laughed that hard since I saw a picture of Shawn's mom naked.  :tg:

Kinda funny, she said she never laughed so hard as when you dropped your pants, and tried the "its cold in here" comment
It's Gumby's fault.

What do you think I'm thinking? ;) Well, more than thinking....doing.  Gotta get the Tbird back on the road first.


Sounds good, *nod* I assume you're gonna force feed it.  :D  I'd like to put one in a second gen Escort. Talk about a sleeper.

This picture here is why I like the aussi cars so much.

I saw a couple of people say they'd like to "ruin" a Chevy muscle car by putting Ford power in it to get back at all those guys that ruin their Fords with Chevy power. I've always had this idea too, but I'd want to take it to the extreme (which would require Bill Gates money):
 
Find the holy grail of GM cars, an original ZL1 Camaro. We're talking super-duper rare, all-alloy, 427ci big block F-Body here. Spend a fortune to make it concours correct, submit pics to a Chevy rag and arrange for a photo shoot...
 
...then yank the whole drivetrain and stuff a diesel Tempo engine in there. I mean the whole works, too - we're talkin' making this puppy FWD with Ford/Mazda diesel power. And automatic. Keep the body and wheels stock, though, so when the magazine shows up for the shoot you can show them the car with the hood closed. Give them dospoogeentaion proving originality and dospoogeenting your restoration...
 
...then, when they're ready to bust a nut at this cream-of-the-Chevy-crop masterpiece, open the hood and watch them faint:evilgrin:
 
Then tell them that I will repeat this massacre on another rare Chevy for every Chevy-powered Ford I see in a magazine. If I could get away without being assasinated, at least:macgun: :wtf:

That's hilarious. Why not add in the AWD Tempo setup? :D

Because the idea would be to add as little "cool" as possible. Wouldn't want anyone to say "Well at least it's AWD" :p

Don't get me wrong, Oldraven, I'd give my right nut for a Yenko or ZL1 Camaro (my left nut is reserved for a '69 Boss 429 Mustang), but I'd just love to "get back" at those guys that take the easy (and very, very boring) way out by dropping small block Chevies into everything. I've got nothing against Chevy (I even owned an '83 C10 Scottsdale, 305, 3-speed standard, column shift), but keep the Chevy engines in Chevies. And keep Pontiacs in Pontiacs, Buicks in Buicks, etc. To me a car is ruined when I see a boring ol' SBC in it, unless the car is a Chevy. Of course I am somewhat of a hypocrite here, given my first (and still favourite) car was a '78 Trans Am with a '70 LT1 350 in it, but that was there when I bought it.

The only time I like to see an engine swap that involves putting manufacturer A's engine into manufacturer B's body is when it's an oddball swap and cool just for being odd, like the guy that used to come to the old board with a 500ci Caddy powered Turbo Coupe, or the guy I knew with a Dodge 340-powered late 70's Toyota somethingorother, or a Northstar-powered Fiero, or something like that. There's no excuse to put a Chevy engine in any Ford because Ford makes engines that are just as good, just as "moddable", and just as common. Save your 350 for a '49 torpedo-back Chevy. Put a 351 in your '49 Ford. Hemi up that Airflow or Desoto. Et cetera...
