You're kidding, right?

Tell me what K member was designed to stick a Chevy into a Ford?

I'm not against a chevy motor in a ford. Do what you have to and just go fast. But my question is what are you going to do about headers. Your more then likely going to have to get customs which will run you well over 1500 more then likely.

the header thing isn't no way going to cost 1500...cost will be about 500....the trans shouldn't be to much to deal with but it would be a cleaner fit to make your own using a tubro 400 poly mount.....the driveshaft will have to be made..I hope your using a short shaft t-400...you want to set that heavy beast back as much as you can to help get some weight off the front
