Why would you put that Chevy Crate Engine in your Ford truck? Well, they do run pretty well. I think of them more as just another powerplant for your truck. If they run well, why not. And, let’s be honest, they are a bit cheaper than the Ford counterparts. And, they have a huge selection. I love my Fords and I would keep the blue oval pure, but sometimes people just can’t. A truck on the road is better than no truck on the road... know what I mean????
