Features Non Ford motors in Ford bodies

I put a 69' Plymouth 318 with a mild cam in my 59' Ford F100.

We also clipped the front with a volare clip and the rear axle is a 8 3/4 from a New Yorker.


"Built Ford Tough, With Mopar Stuff"

 

Puttin 440 mopar in my 31A ratrod only because i have it. Rather have a solid liftered 351C

 

Well I've got a dozen sbc's, whatever decent looking car / body I can afford to buy and spend time building, guess what engine they'll be getting. I doubt I can afford any ford body's so I think they're safe after all.

 

51 F1 I just started building is getting an LT1 T56, mocking up for mounts now.

 

This is my 350 in my 1962 Ford F100 Flareside, eventually one day I'll find a big block that's either a Ford, Olds, Caddy or Hemi to stuff under the hood to melt my tires off the rims.

 

I have a gen 4 sbc going into my ford f100 just cant decide if I want it to shift or I.. I would post pic of the motor but the thread would be closed.

 

I've got a similar quote on the trunk lid of my '63 Falcon!
"Built Ford Tuff, With Chevy Stuff"

 

That nailhead in the 53 F100 would give a woody to a monk!

 

current project is an old ford pickup (titled as a 38 but in reality is a 37) that is being built into what i hope in the end will be a screaming street rod. the picture in this post is the engine we built for it. started life as a 69 corvette 350. is now a 383 stroker, .30 over with a comp cams thumper cam, patriot aluminum high performance ported and polished heads matched to a ported and polished edelbrock 2X4 tunnel ram intake with snuggie headers and an MSD ignition. the serpentine system was made by street and performance (aka hotrod lane). the engine should be in the range of 550hp and close to 500 ft lbs of torque. definitely a non ford engine in a ford, lol

 

When I was in high school (early 60s) a friend stuck a 318 Mopar in a 47 Chev.

 

Oh wow, that 383 looks so bold, tough and mean. It almost tempts me to want to keep the 350 I have and make my own 383 stroker that could melt anything in it's path.

 

I've got a Buick V6 in my T coupe

 

Grand National or Regal V6? Now that's unique!!

 

283 now 302 with Power glide in my 26 T. JW

 

You've gotta shift!

 

It just pisses me off when someone says 'small block chevy'? I tend to get a little uptight but restrain myself. Never put a sbc in anything in the last 40 yrs. Might consider a hemi or olds thou
pic is current 50 shoebox

 

I have a question for all of you, would a junkyard be the best spot for looking for an Olds, Caddy or Hemi motor?

 

We call Smiley, our 41 Ford a Fordolette. 350/350/ Nova clip and rear end. Ford tough with Chevy stuff.

 

so great to see there are still some real hot rodder,s that will use want they want car motor,s that they want not put a ford in a ford or a chevy in a chevy myself i,m a small block chevy man i put them in everything cause i like them !i also like y-blocks for thier looks and sounds but of sick of flatheads,and hemi.s much too much over done

 

thanks was hopeing someone would show the other side

 

331 Caddy fits right in a 50! Tedley bet that thing steered eazy,when you took the photo!

 

Sent a pm so not to hijack this thread.

 

Would a Caddy motor be good on gas if tuned right?

Sounds right to me.

 

When I was in hi school I helped a buddy drop a 413 Mopar/727 trans combo in his '55 Chevy. I liked it so much that I bought a wrecked Chrysler and put the same combo in my '40 Chev coupe!

 

My '51 runs a '58 Chrysler 392

 

SBC in Fords since 1955...Traditional? Never gonna go away...Just like Kool 4-doors and Nash Ramblers!....LOL

 

Probably not, unless its one that's been around a long time and still has older cars in the yard. Even then, the more desirable Hemis will probably have been picked over. Newer yards aren't likely to have engines that old.

Swap meets, Craigslist, classified ads, word-of-mouth, etc, are going to be better routes.

 

You are correct on both accounts.

Here is the deal, anything other then a ford in a ford is called a hot rod. Henry had the only affordable v-8 engine for a lot of years and that was what fueled the hot rod industry until valve in head V-8s came about. Then just the mere fact that you could throw a stock V-8 anything in place of a flathead V-8 and end up with more ponies and or torque pretty much spelled the end of the Ford motor in a ford car.

There is no reason to even have a thread about non ford motors in ford bodies, just go to any cruise or car show and walk around.

Kool or kewl or cool used the the same sentence with Nash ramblers or 4 doors is an oxy moron. One thing that always comes to mind when somone says that 4 doors are cool is that olds never build a 4-4-4.
