55 chevy with Ford power

[57chero]

Flipping through the November issue of Street Rodder  at the store and there it was a 55 chevy conv. made into a roadster with a 427 sohc with a 671 blower sticking through the hood. He also used a customized 57 ford dash, I guess he got tired of seeing chevy motors in Fords at car shows and magazines he calls it Poetic Justice. I bet that really pisses off the tri five guys, cutting up a convertible plus putting a ford in it.

A friend of mine way back raced a '55 Chevy with a 289 Ford in it. Did it just to piss off the Chevy guys. I always thought it would be neat to put a Y Block in a '55-'57 Chevy.

My 36 Chevy has a 351C/FMX/M II/8" for a power train.  I have to admit I have had a little too much fun with it over the years (since 1980)!  Makes the hard core Chevy guys nuts!

I'd love to see that too  If I ever get back to our local show there is a beautiful 57 Chevy with a 427 Ford power I need to get pictures of.

I found a picture of a black 57 chevy on the gasser madness site a while back with a flathead in it..

I had a 39 Chev coupe with a 352 in it. Was really a 58 chassis with the coupe body dropped over it but, regardless, the Chevy guys hated it.

      Do you still have the picture that I took of the 36 (?)  Chevy coupe with the Ford engine?    I took at Star drive in last year or the year before.   Thanks Jay

There is a 68 Camaro w/a flathead. (Bonneville class car I believe)
Wouldn't waste a SOHC on a ch** body.
There is a 65 Mustang w/a Y-Block bracket racer.
It's fun to mess with the knuckle dragging Chev guys!
