I prefer customs and street rods with the same brands of engines
they came from the factory with, But any Chevy with a non-chevy
always gets a grin from me due to the 99.99% of Ford rods suffering
the embarrasment of GM power under their hoods.

One of the neatest doubletake inducing setups I've seen in a rod
was a 302 Ford motor with custom adapters holding on CHEVY embossed
chrome valve covers. I've also seen a Ford rod with a Chevy engine
and phonied up FORD valve covers. (Boooo! Hisss!)

Even better was a 30-something Chevy custom with a complete Dodge
drivetrain and suspension transplant.

But I've never, ever seen a Chevy custom or rod with Ford power,
but a large number of all makes will have a Ford 9" rearend, or
clone thereof.
