So how do you justify putting a Chev in a Ford legend???!!!

I think its funny people think these cars a ford. All ford did was supply a driveline. The car is made by AC and Carol Shelby.

I will be putting a chev in mine mainly because i think they are a better, smaller, cheaper engine. Personally i dont care what motor people put in them, its all about someone building their own car they want. Who cares what anyone else thinks.

I dont see anyone installing the original suspension or brakes either. Why would you unless you are building an exact replica.

When my car is finished the only thing that will resemble what Mr Shelby created will be the body, but then again that was AC.

Does anyone ever talk about building cars these days?

The decision to go for a Chev was easy for me, having said that if a Ford engine was available at the time for similar cost, size, performance and emissions I would have been happy to go that way.

I find it interesting that so many Ford hot rods have Chevs fitted but no one seems to care.

I know of a couple of Chev powered Cobras that sold very quickly at over $70K this year, so no real issue with resale values as far as I can see. A well built car will always get the bucks no matter what is under the bonnet.

I have one of each.

The Ford was purchased as is ( except for the pretend supercharger noise )
and I had no option with the Daytona, it was Chev or nothing! space and Rego were the issues.

I love them both, the Cobra pulls like a 14 year old boy in 1,2,3,4th and the Daytona is more refined ( so far ) new CAM might change that .

The cars are fake so why not put what you want in it ( so long as its a V8/V10/V12 IMO )
