You even see that on threads here where you have page after page arguing Ford bearing clearances, Ford-spec oil pressure, and the like and then somebody remembers "Oh, BTW I have an after-market crank, Chevy rods, Wiseco pistons...."  I'm sitting here trying to think what Ford parts I have on my Ford block and I'm having a tough time coming up with one. I'm sure I've got something ... I just can't think what it is. Honestly, I might very well have no Ford parts on my FE other than the block. |
I never thought that much about it but your right. My block is also a Genesis so I don't think there is anything Ford in or on my FE!
