Installiing a 4.6

[Frankenstein57]

Lots of good points, when I grew up my brother and I got hooked on dirt short track racing. He is 8 years older than I, and soon started building a car. His first car was a 55ford, 312 y-block. he was to young to drive, and had the neighbor driving it with limited sucess. Then they built a 57 ,406 -did ok. Well he got hooked up with some chevy guys , wound up building one , never came back to ford. In 74, I bought a former track champs 57ford , put in a medium riser 427, had a ball, won 13 races rookie year.After 5 seasons racing ford sportsmans, I moved up to late models. Fe motors pretty much dried up in supply, I was forced to buy a chevy (not rich) had many great years, But,,, my point is I came back to my 57 fords, wouldn't dream of putting anything else under the hood , go blue oval!!!!!

I saw a a '57 Tudor wagon at a car show here in Sandwich, Illinois over Memorial Day weekend, that had a 32 valve Lincoln Mark VIII in it. It was a beautiful piece of work. He too, used a lot of other parts from the Lincoln.

I remember seeing a '55 Chevy once with a 440 Mopar in it. A few years back a guy turned up at a Corvette show here with a very early 'vette ('54 maybe?) that had a real funny sound when he pulled into the show. To the horror of the "cactus crowd" (You all know the difference between a cactus and a Corvette, right?) it had a full-race Ford Flathead in it. They changed their show rules the following year so that this couldn't happen again.

I have a 36 Chevy 2 Dr. Sdn with a 351C/FMX.  It was a junk yard motor in 1974 out of a 72 Ranchero.  No idea how many miles were on it but I have 135K on the car with no failures!  Talk about causing a little ruckus.......the Chevy guys just look and shake their head and the Ford guys love it!
