That's because you have to. I'd betcha a can of Folger's there's more bowties than blue ovals on engine stands...

how come they put bowties in hot rods and rat rods that have blue oval on the front

 

[dall]

For sure. The aftermarket has really made it easy.

a 1955 chevy motor will bolt up to a 4l60e and a ls motor will bolt to a turbo 350 or a standard chevy manual transmission

because unlike ford you can use any motor transmission combination

fords there was some you had to use certain transmissions or atleast bell housing for certain motors

I honestly have almost no experience with those. Truck-wise though, there are as many of those on the road around here as anything.

What you know is usually going to be what you love. I have a friend that could talk circles around your Chevy's talking about how the first gen Ranger/BroncoII/Explorers were the best vehicles ever produced. Same fella that ran the old 429 I posted about earlier.

Agreed. Surprised none of the Mopar guys jumped in.
Chevys are easier to work on, and they have more mechanic friendly amenities. Except S10s. FUGG them little annoying bastids!
Then theres the plastic intakes on the 6.0 Chebby.
Second thought, EVERYTHING new sucks to work on.

Sorry, I'm trying to slack hard until 3:30 and four days off, feelin' sassy.

Thats why I'm asking, I dont!!
I think I've replaced 2 of them for reasons other than catastrophic engine failure as you cant be certain to get all the chunks out.
