Features ford motors in non-fords bodys

lets see how many people have used ford motors in non-fords i,ve seen so many fords with non ford motors that i though it would be nice to see some people who like gm or mopar cars and ford drive trains please post picture,s

 

No photo, but my favotite is a local 1950 Chevy Fleetline with a Mustang II front end, 9" Ford read, and small block Ford power, License plate reals NO EKG

 

My first hot rod build was a 48 Dodge Club Coupe . Bought the 48 Dodge for $ 75.00 ( Rust Bucket ) . Got a free donor car for the Drivetrain. ( 68 Ford LTD Country Squire Wagon ) . Used the Front Clip , 390 Engine , FMX trans and 9" rear . It came out OK , for a 19 year old. ( in 1988 ) .

My high school buddy always reminds me.... No matter what it looks like , you will always be driving a Station Wagon .

it is not built yet, but i have a 28 pontiac that wil have a small block ford in it, i am given such a hard time about my 351 in my 34 that i have to make this happen. i am a ford guy at heart and when i got this car, i knew what had to go in it.

 

Nice car and I really like your little black two piece.

 

is that the green one with the chop top?

 

Yes, Another local car is a 1968 Volvo P-1800 with a 298 in it.

 

There is a 68 Camaro around here[Ventura,County,CA],that has a turbocharged Boss 302,5-speed combo.You should here the chevy guys crying foul!!!!! ROY

 

Why waste a real engine on one of those Brand-X cars?

OK, remember that Baskin-Robbins has 31 flavors.......

 

thats a hard car to chop.

 

theres a 39 olds coupe with a 351 and a toploader 4spd runnin around so. conn, its pretty cool.....................john

 

'Back in the day'; - circa 1971-'72-'73 or so, there
was a guy running a '62 or '63 Chevy II Mod/Prod
racer at the local track, with a 289 Ford in it. The
narrower, front sump, sbf block actually fit in the
early Chevy II chassis better and easier than a sbc
would have , plus the 289 was about 60 lbs. lighter
than a sbc. I don't recall how competitive the car
actually was, but it sure got lots of looks in the pits
and it gave the announcer something to yak about
whenever the car came up to the line!

About ten years ago tee was a late model VW Bug getting around with a 351Clevo in it, also seem to remember a SBC powered one.
Doc.

 

Back in the 80's my cousin had a V8 Vega running a FORD 302/c4 combo. That was a cool little car that bucked the trend.

 

I had a Yblock in a 37 Chev!! A couple of years back at the Chev nationals in Victoria a guy pulled in with a twin V8 powered HQ ute should have heard the Chev boys cry !! twin Cleavlands

 

cleveland in a 53 buick

 

There was one of those in the Seattle area around then. Guy drove it to the "All Ford" drags and was the freak of the meet, it was a hit,

 

I fitted a

I fitted a Y-block to a 34 chev , also same into a 34 Olds sedan in the early 70s. Not many choices back then in New Zealand.

 

I would've loved to seen that......I once saw a mid 60's E-Type jag with a 427 side-oiler in it

 

Put a 272 y block in a 54 ch vy ,then welded up the back doors and cut the roof off.Just to seal the deal I grafted the rear section of a 60 plymouth !

 

I have an 8BA to go into into my '40 Desoto on '41 Plymouth chassis...a cat here in South Aus is running the same donk in a 1939 Plymouth.

Different is good

 

That's the beauty of orphan makes - you can put anything in anything and nobody can rag on you - except restorers!

 

I drove a '41 Plymouth 2-dr sedan with a 289 & C-4 every day for 10 years. Caught a bunch of crap about my choice of car and drivetrain, but I loved that car. Painted it VW Saturn Yellow...just to stir the pot. I drove it to the '76 Street Rod Nationals, and it was known to show up at the eighth mile drags on Sundays. I have missed that car every day since I sold it over 25 years ago.

 

"Turnabout is fair play" In the early 70's we built a 66 C10, with a 390 in it. It wasn't all that fast, but it would pull down a house. It pulled our race cars all over the country for a good many years. I'm still a purest, Ford in a Ford, Chev in a Chev. Ether one in a Dodge. LOL

 

i started this thread to show that we have real hot rodder on the ham that run body styles that the like and drive trains that the like and don,t care about the oh it must be a ford in a ford or a chevy in a chevy or a mopar in a mopar its what they like and the build it drive it and most of all HAVE FUN WITH IT !!!

 

the 34 chev 5 window in my avitar runs a 1961 390 hp full roller motor with tri power with a 69 mustang 390 gt close ratio toploader and a narrowed 9 inch rear would love to post more pictures but i cant figuire out how???

 

I have a non hamb worthy 70s gm product getting BBF. Engine is in, trans is in, it fit great. All that is left is the small stuff, wiring, fuel lines etc... All put together with parts that were cheap, free, or stuff I had kicking around.

 

There's an older guy in Vista CA who made a '35 Chevy truck into a roadster PU, painted it bright red and runs a 351W in it - don't have any pics though.

 

Recent build: Walt Leeman's Chevy out of Delta, CO...running '90 Lincoln 5.0 with AOD tranny, Mustang front suspension, 8 inch Ford rear.

The car was featured in Kustoms Illustrated, issue # 22...
