I can't see how?

Ford haven't made the Windsor motor for about 6 years now and you can still get them fine. Even if GM goes under there's still going to be a ton of stuff around for years.

And don't forget you can now buy a completely aftermarket LS-X motor: block, heads, crank, rods, the whole lot without a single GM piece in it.

It's hard to go past the Chevy Gen 3 and 4 motors Bernie. Good power, light weight, good fuel economy and street manners with their well sorted factory EFI. Far more easily adapted than the Ford modular motors due to their engine management being separate the the body control management systems.

Cheers
