Poll: Would you ever swap a ford engine into a chevy?

[Deaf Bob]

I think anyone who cross breeds a chevy in a ford or reverse is just an attention seeker good or bad and probably does other stuff to get attention also. I don't like those kinds of people.

No.. I disagree.. We have a good derby motor..Chevy.. 64 down Fords make good derby cars.. Allows extreme setback over Ford engines.. With Ford motors, you end up replacing the water pump, harm balncer and dizzy too often from hitting with the front of the motor...

I put a 302 in a 52 3100. All junk parts. Some new here and there. Pretty fun.

It'd have to be an old school Ford V-8 and be one bad SOB...but, yes, I'd do it. I'd put a 427 2x4 in my Vette to really screw with the "Vette guys". Hell, they already hate me

huge power cut

I don't "get" brand loyalty. I'd swap an engine into a car regardless of makes or models.

Only if Mad Max and I were trying to get across the desert during the apocalypse.

Not only would I do it, I have done it. A 429 4v in a 73 chev pickup. It was the only way that chev was ever going to be any good. With the Saginaw steering pump and a quick mod to the gm alternator it was a easy swap. Never had a speedo, just used the tach and other traffic to guage my speed.

If I had a 302 or something ready to go, and a light weight small Chevy car (Chevette or something) ... yeah, I'd do it.
A. It's about a hundred pounds lighter.
B. Dare to be different... listen to people's responses when they see it.
