It sitting on a blazer frame with 350 400 turbo. They need to quit doing that to are fine looking fords.

Doesn't look ruined to me??? is it any different vs a '48 Stude on a '79 Bronco frame with a 390 setup that's running around here?

[Caseys71]

Personally I really liked the look of it until I saw that it was Chevy powered, the fact that it has a Chevy frame under it doesn't bother me too much as it looks really good at that height, but having a SBC and a Turbo-400 tranny is definitely a problem in my book ! With that said they could've done just as good a job putting it on a Bronco chassis then it could remain Ford powered like it ought to be in the first place !

Engine: 4-Cylinder V-8

, Never heard of a 4 cylinder V8 , either the salesman that posted it up wasn't paying much attention, or it only runs on 4 cylinders which would be a good indication that it was a Chevy engine !

Whats class guages, was this a school bus? oh yeah and by 4 cylinder v8 does he mean the motor is half dead, or is it a try at making a chevy 350 a MDS chrysler setup?

I would rather see a ford on a chevy frame than gone to the crusher. Very nice looking truck.

and nothing says you can't never put a Ford engine back into it later.

Yeah, I caught that too plus I noticed one more thing.

The Restoration is only 3 Years Old.

They describe it as a 'restoration'. Give me a brake.

What intrigues me is they think their mix-match of parts is worth almost $19,000

I think it looks SICK !! Swap a 302 in for that 350 & its a done deal.

Im gonna let this crossbreed slide, cause I like it !!!
