There's a guy on here with a mega-built rig (Bronconator I think?) with, if I recall correctly, a big block chevy in his machine. He had gobs of time and $$ into it, but he already had the engine so why buy another. I say if you want a resto or resto-mod then gotta stick with Ford. If you are building an all out trail rig that will only be trailered, then who cares. It's a totally custom rig anyway. When you look at the catalogues--Summit, Jegs, etc.--the same or better HP and Torque numbers come cheaper with a Chevy motor. I would still jab at anyone who would do it, but what's most important is that it runs and drives properly. These things are for fun--see how much fun we are having!
The Bronco-Nator has a 5.4L motor out of a Lincoln Navigator.
