    i use to get the crap all the time about my goat having a big block chebby in it. but i do what i want and to hell with any one. i work on all engines but i like my chevys BUT i like cheap power and i think the chevy has that and really hold up good with out not much work BUT the best small block i would think is the ls1or6 and that is what i would put in it this would not be cheap but if you add it all up i think in the long run it would not be that much more if you buy a wreck or find a new ford muskrat that was hit try that

    Ford muskrat, ................Now that is funny If u get down to it ,the metal is metal and the engines are not that much different at all.It does not matter whether the oil went around the block or over it ,if it did its job and made it where was needed...................but if they did not have ford or chevy marked on em what would we have a rivalry about ?Just like the Hatfields and McCoys , the name was good enuff for them to fight over ,ford and chevy are good enuff for me.
    Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)

    Work with what you got guys. Sometimes we go by what's available at what price. Like me, I wanted a 289/302 for my 52. The best I could find was a 327 Chevy for $400 still in the crate. So, instead of a girly motor in a Ranger frame, I put the Chevy in an S-10 frame. Hell, I even looked at Mopar engines.
