kinda like transplanting a pigs heart into a human..........

It takes a little more intelligence to build a Ford vs. Chevy engine....... In light of the 383, while a good choice, not suited for my tastes in a Bronco. Still a clean build however.

I could never understand why people do that? The small block ford is perfect for the bronco no need to swap. It would be different if it was a Scout or a Jeep they didn't have the best motor options and chevy motors are cheap and easy to build. Nice looking truck just has the wrong motor!

i am partial to FORD, but dollar for dollar...Chevy better option for HP and torque. But I agree, why would you deface a Bronco like that?

I like the way the term "restored" gets thrown around!

Not a fan

Chevy motor kinda de-values the whole package IMO & I don't like the rims at all, do they spin when it stops?

It's a cheap way to go with a Chevy tranny like the 700R4, instead of adapting the engine to the trans and then the trans to the D20 you just swap the whole thing in, get a transfer case with the right drop that bolts to the 700 and get new drive shafts. It makes for a simpler tranny swap and motor upgrade.

I agree though I don't like other brand motors in vehicles. I don't even like 350's in Jeeps, there are plenty of good Mopar candidates to put in Mopar vehicles, it just cost a little more money. But I think it's worth the price, to keep the engine in the same brand. I think it caught on and was accepted in jeep's because they have changed hands and did not have v8's until a certain point in time. But now with the new Hemi's, I see no reason to put a Chevy motor is a Jeep.

Kinda looks like a shifter for a BW T-18 or NP 435 and a T-shift behind it. Not really into that look.

Cause a 383 Chevy makes about double the power of a 351 for about half the money

No disrespect if this yours, it's just a pride thing... Very nice looking rig for sure but not something you see very often.

Not mine. I wish mine looked half that good

I don't understand using a Chevy engine in a vehicle If another engine bolts right up

If youre gonna have to weld In new motor mounts. New crossmember etc
Might was well use a Chevy

I know they use Chevy engines in a lot of old ford hot rods because it fits right in and to use a ford engine required lots of welding and crossmember mods Weird but true

I used to have a 90 dodge 4wd. And liked it. Nothing wrong with it that a Chevy engine wouldn't cure

The TBI 318 might have made half the power of the TBI 350 in my dads 90 K5 blazer

Whatever goes the fastest for the leastest

For many years the fastest setup was a Hudson streight six in a old model A Ford minus the fenders and running boards
