Your understanding of this thread = Fail.
Obviously you are not a real motoring enthusiast, just a 1 team junky.
Open your eyes, there are real cars besides the blue oval.
Your understanding of fail=fail.

Man that is a win with a capital W...those things are probably rarer than GT Falcons nowadays, especially in original condition like that. Last one I saw was maybe twenty years ago, a white Drifter ute.

Nice hot rods too...but someone doesn't like "Chevs in a Ford"...? The nearest thing to "Ford" on those kit cars is the badge...
I remember seeing a reason that so many hot rods, especially ones with exposed engines, had Chev small blocks in them was not only because of the vast range of performance gear for it and wealth of knowledge about the engine, but also appearance...they're a good looking motor, with exhaust pipes exiting the heads evenly spaced, instead of, as with Ford and Holden V8's, two together in the middle and one either end. Sounds trite, but on a hot rod when you care about each nut and bolt and how it looks, things like that matter.

Yes...what the hell are those rubber hoses over all the tappet cover bolts and hold-downs...? The angle they would "push" at can't have anything to do with stopping the hold-downs coming undone...some of them would push anti-clockwise and if anything help them work loose. Very odd...

I'm sure the diffs are still Ford!

On another note: Win.

the twin in middle & 1 at each end is a classic chev sb trademark!!
earlier holden v8's are the same also
ford has even spacing =\

aftermarket heads give you the single ports if appearance is everything. though you'd change them for the power b4 looks.

Only part of that is true, ever seen a chev small block? Or for that matter a Ford small block? I reckon the last Ford V8 to have unevenly spaced exhaust was the y block!

And for the record I hate Chev motors in Fords too, even replica Fords. But they are cool Hot Rods.
