Bowtie is buying a blue oval

THATS WHY I PUT MY FIRE SUIT ON WHEN I DID THE THREAD....I feel the heat but am not burning. Ford freaks ought to be thanking me for saving the 500.

Thanks Bow Tie. I saved a Chevy once. Then it bit me.

 

Buy both and stuff 427's in them....

 

Had a buddy who had a boat he kept at lake Erie. Used nothing but big block Chevies, and was always worried about it holding up. The he got his first big Ford engine and was never worried again. Said all he had to do was hook a chain to it, and it was the best anchor he ever owned.

 

you werent feeding it enough..or there were fords too close to it and they made it angry...probably all your fault im sure

 

and when they bite they hang on too !!!!!

 

Heres a little tune I used to sing back in the mid 70s. Goes to the sound of Jingle Bells

Buy a ford, buy a ford, buy a ford today, drive it around and wreck it up then buy a Chevrolet.

 

Say it isn't so!
I also own a Ford - body that is. The innards are Chivolay...

 

While cleaning out the trunk of my newly bought GALAXIE , i find a full set of seat covers & head liner still in the boxes. Maybe FORDS are'nt all that bad after all. (did i just say that )

ok... i feel better now

 

a lifetime of beating yourself to death working on GM and you finally see the light, huh? at least you won't need a BFH to work on the Galaxie.

 

Im torn. They both look like great cars. Ive owned both Chevys and Fords.

 

"built ford tough, with chevy stuff"

 

The brands have all made good stuff and have all made shit. Put your favorite brand on it.
Have fun with the new used car!!!!

 

HA-welcome!

You need someone to show you where the distributer is so you can get her timed right?

We'll send someone from the Chevrolet intervention team shortly and they'll get you all fixed up!

(Just kidding I like them ALL too. Sweet ride)

 

I ,opened the hood & thought the distributer was just laying on the front of the motor. Damn was i confused. Its been some time since i layed eyes on a 289.

Francisco,
I learned a long time ago to never bend down near a GM product. But you should remember this one thing if you don't remember anything else, a hungry dawg is always the best dawg to have in the pit.

 

BLUE OVAL up-date......With my FORD i get a 289 & a 302 both complete , and of course the 289 in the car. Also a model car kit of the '64 Galaxie . WTF....is someone trying to convert me to a ford freak !!!!

Oh yeah , org. Ford stamped keys. (better then a shirt with a pocket)

 

every body grows up some time!!!!!

 

Well got the Galaxie home ....Found some bad parts that was covered up. Nothing that a CHEVY MAN can't make right though. Remember, got new interior with it also. More pix......

Should have bought the nova.

 

Eat Mor Chicken.......NEW POINTS, CONDENSER , COIL & VALVE COVER GASKETS . The damn thing is killing me.

 

I did. This one is a turn .

 

welcome to ford owership...I got a 34 but its' all GM under the hood...here's a photo of my last ford daily...79 Ford F-100 with a Z-28 subframe, 400 Poncho motor, 12 bolt rear....only Ford moving parts left on it were latches and window regulators.

 

a chevy guy in a Ford goes to turn the headlights on and the wipers start working.

 

hahahaha! a chevy guy using wipers. they don't run in the rain. or they leak like sieves, so they get kept in the garage, i'm not sure.

 

actually a chevy guy in a ford goes to put the lights on and he pulls the wiper knob off.

 

Before you get all blind-sided by the "GM is sooo superior" litany, just go out and open the door. (drivers, passengers, either.) Open it all the way, feel the solidity of the hinges. Now close the door. (if it's in 'near adjustment', you won't have to slam it)

Now go do that to a chevy. There IS a difference.
