some one used to have in his sig "chevy motor in a mustang = stupid chevy guy who doesnt know how to build ford"
you want to do something different, buy a 2011 5.0 and put in in a fox. an aftermarket 460 block can be bored and stroked to over 800ci, that be different. ive seen 10 second turbo 4 bangers, thats different

I would never put a chevy motor in a ford for many reasons.
1. parts cost more for that motor.
2. if you put the money into a ford motor for that car that you are going to spend on the chevy motor you will have a lot faster car when your done.
3. everything must be customized just to make the motor work, from the front k member to the rear axle! you will most likely need a custom oil pan for the motor, custom computer, custom interior (for the shifter and center council), custom motor mounts, custom tranny mounts, custom hood, custom K member, custom exhaust, custom drive shaft, custom intake, aftermarket suspension, and hours upon hours of you time. now add the cost of the motor and tranny on top of all those custom parts and you just look like a fool!
you say you don't want to do something all the other fords are doing by doing the same things all the chevys are doing? think about what you are saying! there are many options not on the "bandwagon" as you call it. you can find people that put 5.4L SOHC, 5.4L DOHC, 5.4L Triton, 4.6L DOHC (like the cobras), beef up a 4.6L SOHC (like the GTs), or just twin turbo a V6 (you don't see that every day), they have stroker kits for all the motors, 351 conversions, plus all the options of superchargers, turbo chargers, twin turbo chargers, nitrous, 5 speed to 6 speed swaps, and sooooo many more that you just need to think about what you want to accomplish! otherwise if that's all too common for you just buy your overpriced chevy car and save yourself the time and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$!!!
