ford lover to the bone ; flatties y block's, FE'S etc, I fail to understand putting an x brand motor in a ford. If your a chevy guy stick to it ! The day's of , it's easier, cheaper to put a scrub in a ford is long gone . The sbc being the superior motor is pure hype, more fiction than fact. Same for the big block .If you have been around since the day you would know !
Great soap box Have you built may cars? Newer Fords (302) don't fit too well in early cars engine bays And yes they are more expensive to dress up to look good. Welcome to the Hamb.
