Mechanic where I live bought a blown up 95 v6 stang. He had a chevrolet 400 small block and been a chevy drag racer for 30+ years, so he swapped it in the stang using a 8.8 rearend out of a wreck 5.0, mated to a 350 turbo. Got welds on it. Ran low 11's at super chevy with a big red bow-tie where a pony use to be. Claims to still have AC, PS, pb, and reliability, (after two powersteering pumps, 1 cam swap, 1 broke cast crank), and about 13 grand in whole ride. Looks like a nice cobra, sounds as mean as a snake, but I still dont think cross-contamination is the way. Can't a Ford engine perform equally or better for same $$$$$? Even with no power adders as he is naturally apirated.
