A lot of people have put a Chevy in a Ford but a FE is for me!

Same here...Ford means Ford engine. My 2 Couriers will have 390/tri-power engines. The Fairlane is getting it's 312 back.

  Sell the sbc/700R and swap in a 7.3 Godzilla would make it a good runner. Nice looking Ranchero just a piss poor drivetrain choice.

It's really puzzling why somebody would put so much time and money in to it and put a chevy in it, it's really going to limit buyers in my opinion. My latest modification on my Ranchero, adapters to put Y-Block valve covers on a sbf (351w).

Gee...I wonder  :017: where those came from? LOL!!! Now we know where their new home is!

Look really good too! Well done!

   I like those Y block valve covers on the FE engine. Did it take a lot to
do it?
    It certainly will keep them guessing.  HaHa.

I bought the adapters on ebay
