Bit different in OZ on the resales. Not as big an issue having a chev I would say.

Become more the norm then the exception now, even in those states where you could scrape in with a ford motor due to emissions. The modern ford motor is nice but big and wont fit in a lot of kits.

Happy with mine, plenty of toe stock. Economical, small and light, probably more like an original cobra donk then the modern ford. Makes a lot of sense, and at the end of the day it is just a hunk of metal - the make (ford, chev) is just a word, and doesnt change what it is.

Cheers.
