Chevrolet engines in classic fords?


One of the mysteries of the universe is why do so many classic car builders install a low tech Chevrolet engine in a beautifully restored Ford??? Ford engine technology is years ahead of GM and they have built more exotic engines than Chevrolet can count. They dominate off road, drag racing and hold the fastest recorded Nascar speed ever recorded. Is it stupidity?Or just monkey see...monkeydo?

Not a mystery at all. The main reason that Chevy engines were used in Ford cars of the 20's, 30's, 40's and early 50's is ease of installation. Prior to 1979 all Ford engines were front sump oil pans. In order to install a Ford engine in an early Ford, the #1 crossmember would need to be cut out and relocated to install a Ford engine, or a special oil pan needed to be fabricated. This drastically reduced the strength of the frame unless additional strengthening members were installed. This added weight and made it ugly. Small block Chevy engines weighed only 780 lbs fully dressed and were almost a direct drop in. At that time, they also produced more power per pound than a Ford and were readily available. Chevy was the first to use "modular design" even though it was not advertised as such. One could bolt any Chevy trans to any Chevy engine at the time so the swap was even more attractive. This could not be done with any Ford. Ford engine technology has only gotten better in the last 15 years.

"According to Steeda: The weakest link in your drivetrain may be the hydra-mounts used for mounting the engine. While they get the damping job done, they can be prone to fatigue, sagging and/or leaking even with only limited hard use. These direct replacements eliminate the hydra-coupling, and do a better job of directing your engine's efforts to the wheels as well as maintaining proper engine/driveline geometry. Supplied with with two sets of bushings with different durometer ratings, making it a very versatile kit for street or race use."

  • Nah!…The video is restricted outside of US:-(….But i like Rupauls.

  • My family and I went to see the Nutcracker a while ago. My dad MADE us go. We got all these stares, and it was quite obvious that we were…different from the rest of the crowd.

    Then another one was today in my digital photography class. *Note* I'm switching out of that class in hope of finding more black people to be around.

    And also like all of my classes in school. Every last one of them.

  • Yea, luge is a lot harder then it looks, its like driving a car with no wheels and basically no stearing on all ice sideways I've done it once In lake placid NY and I thought it was just going to be fun but it takes a lot more energy then it looks and I know i havent ever drag raced that can't be easy and sure golf looks boring but I'd like to see you do what the pros do, I bet your just one of those people who do nothing at all or do the normal typical sports where lots of people make it like football or baseball so dont say mean things about stuff you haven't tried
