I am a VW/Porsche guy just getting into the American Streetrod thing. I started w/ VW's as a youngster because they are cheap to build. Now for my real project I am to build a 37' Ford coupe/roadster(one of the two). About 80-90% of the completed Ford's I am reading about have Chevy powerplants. I fully understand that either can be used on the chassis, what I don't understand is the apparent dominance of the Chevy engine. Can you guys tell me what you think? Is one better than the other, or is it just preference? I would greatly appreciate any input you might have for me. My 69' bug used to do wheelies until I wrecked it, oops. Don't ever wreck a unibody.
