Ford would have went bankrupt also, if they hadn't mortgaged everything they owned a couple years ago. that money is the only thing that kept them out of having to get a bailout.

As opposed to GM liquidating all there profitable assets over the last 2 decades only to have to turn the company over to the government? GM and Chrysler have been poorly ran since the early 70's Fords had its problems to but in the end Ford is the better company.

Do we need to start a new thread for you'll to have your pissing contest on. Lets get back on topic.

[QUOTE=Buck50;3936947]So a while ago i decided i was gonna drop the fivefour and put in a LS6 . Easy to make power on. 1 Cam, Good flowing heads, Aftermarket is dirty stupid cheap, and i like to be original. I think ima go TH350. I got my Friend welding everything up. Just waiting on the Trans and Motor to be finished so we can start fabbing up the stuff [QUOTE]

I'm curious as to the extra amount of work it's gonna take for a chevy motor to work VS a ford modular that would have bolted right in

Some of you clowns are taking fanboyism to a new extreme. You are being just as stupid and obnoxious as the GM, Chrysler, Toyota, and Nissan fanboys that you love to bash.

Fanboyism. Good one.. And I agree!
I would certainly never do that swap but it's his truck,,he can put whatever he wants in it.
I'm looking forward to see how it turns out.

I agree..it's his truck. It's sad but not realy worth arguing about. But I do know how I have to hear my dad grumble about how much GM is a disgrace to America now that they took the bailout . He was an AFC certified mechanic for Grainger Chevrolet for years before he went to work for Gulfstream and that's all he's driven since retiring Manager of Q.C. Engineering. He sold moms Tahoe and His Silverado and replaced with a Superduty and Explorer and said he will never own another GM product as long as he is still kikin'. The more I talk to him the better since he makes about it.

GM just bought a brand new G550 Executive jet($64 million), and had the nerve to fly it to Washington to beg for the bailout. Now we are paying out of our tax dollars to keep GM's head above water while their assembly line mechanics are making $75 an hour. They are a disgrace to every hard working American and I too have disowned them.
