The windsor block engines are narrower than the SBC but a little longer--easier to fit in place of a six or four, but more difficult if length is an issue.

[BRENTHENRY1989]

@mrfarmerjimbob i understand, but i bet i can fit a Windsor block where ever a SBC can fit, as I've seen many setups with the SBC and there is still plenty of room, and I've seen Windsor blocks in everything a SBC's been in that wasn't GM, my problem is i know a Windsor block can fit into any classic Ford vehicle, thus there is no excuse to use a SBC,

[BRENTHENRY1989]

sorry to rant Jack, just taking advantage of a teachable moment,and from what i have found small block ford parts are just as cheap as small block chevy parts,and in fact i can find lots of parts thanks in part to the Mustang demand, generally used parts from a Mustang owner are cheap to pick up as they upgrade there car, also even new, the parts are reasonable prices, there is no excuse any more for bowtie power under a blue oval hood, i think i will put a video together to address this topic,,

[BRENTHENRY1989]

also the reason i say a 302w or 351w or 351c any small block Ford or even a Ford medium block V8 like a 360/390 are easy to install, is there not far off from a small block Chevy, i would really like to compare the engine dimensions, i always hear people saying the Chevy small block is a easier install? i just look in disbelief, as we have pulled my 302w in and out more than twice during restoration, and i would put money down i could get it into any car a small block chevy can get into,

[BRENTHENRY1989]

yeah i was thinking i would have found a HEMI under the Dodge's hood, i know that would be a big shoe horn, but i am sure it can be done, i think its Bowtie powered, but i still think a nice 318 or 360 would be a nice powerplant, and at least Mopar related, same with the blue Ford, a 302w is just as easy as getting a 350 in a car, who ever says that excuse is just a fool, small blocks of any make are generally a easy fit, now wide big blocks is a different story, some cars are just to narrow,

[BRENTHENRY1989]

yeah all they need Jack is a little sticker like on air craft, NO STEP, lol lol :) and i am sure the owner would hate to install some factory styled rubber mat, that they installed on the original cars, it would take from the look! maybe a really thick coat of clear coat would do the trick? just buff it up when it becomes scratched or that new invisible bug shield i have seen on the internet, its like a invisible removable car bra, basically a sticker, either way i would end up hoping in! :) lol

[BRENTHENRY1989]

yeah that color is really sharp on that car, has a real bronze copper tone too it! all its missing is a NO STEP sticker like on planes, lol lol otherwise that running board will get ruined,

[BRENTHENRY1989]

thanks for the comment, and they are cool! :)

[BRENTHENRY1989]

thanks for the comment, and all comments appear in my e-mail box, i was like what the ??? with your first comment, but i see it was just a error! :) no problemo, i deleted the comment, anyways, yeah that is a neat way to open the hood!, reminds me of the '49 Buick they went with that style of hood opening, not sure how long Buick did that for, but i think you could open it from either side, which would get to be a pain, if you have to work on both sides of the engine, ah well style over function

[BRENTHENRY1989]

i am not too big on custom or exotic colors either, but i do like colors that pop, and both these colors pop, the color i hate the most would be pink, so as long as its not pink, then i am good, also i don't like purple much either, i think plum crazy purple is just that, crazy, also its nice to see these cars in some unique colors, and it may not fly with every one, but i am sure the colors are exactly what the owners wanted, and i have seen worse, much worse, think ricer tuner! lol lol :)
