I was watching Pinks All Out a while ago and saw a Ford powered Camaro that ran at Firebird Race way in Phoenix, Az. Also on my first trip to the local strip (Tucson, Az) I saw the exact same car. Tonight they were filming an episode for Pinks All Out here at SIR (again in Tucson, Az). The Ford Camaro made it to the Final 4 if I'm not mistaken (I could be wrong). Who is this guy, how/why did he put a Ford motor in a Camaro, and what motor is he running? I wanted to ask him in person but I chickened out even though he was RIGHT THERE! I love Fords, and I love Camaros which are usualy two things that just don't go together, but HE did it!!! I just want some info, either from someone who knows whats going on with that car or from the owner himself.

It's about time we get some revenge.

I love it!!! Shame I didn't know about this car when it was first built. A recently departed friend of mine was so pro Chevy that this might just have killed him earlier! He was so upset that I was planning on putting a 351M/C4 in a '46 Chevy pickup that he wouldn't talk to me for three weeks!

Later!

A co-worker is talking about putting a Ford plant in a Corvette. He wants to do it to tick off all the numbers matching Corvette fanatics around here...

^Thats some bawlz right there! The one I keep seeing is a dark red 2nd gen camaro that runs low 8s. I think we should set up a race between that 68 and the 2nd gen, it'd be hot!

That's not the one..it was a 70's body style. I saw that PINKS. Thought it was wild.

if im not mistaking i seen that episode and it went againgst another camaro and won, and as far as it goes into swaping engines is changing the mounts for the engine and tranny and maybe do some cosmetics on the fire wall and if u looked closely at the dash in the car it was changed . i noticed most of the time the cars that win are camaros or mustangs from the 80s and 90s. i also remember two mustangs running on pinks and one had a gm engine, guess who won FORD maybe that was the episode i was thinking of. i had put a 6.2 diesel in a 1949 plymouth pickup we had to make adjustment to the steering wheel which we took out of a chevy van earily 90s ( with tilt) the frame was a chevy pick up late 80s pedal and booster all went to gether fairly easy. the bigest problem we had was bolting the body to the frame. which we quickly resovled with 3 inch square tubes and it was a beastit was hight like the new f350. body is nothing compared to putting an engine together and matching parts to work together

There's a local racer here been running a 460-514 BBF in his Pontiac for 20+years. The Pontiac guys hate him -- the Ford guys love him. And it's fast!

Theres a guy kicking butt at the local track in some of the index classes...in a '92 Crap-maro with a 466 BBF. Just as allenman stated, the chevy guys hate him and the ford guys love him. I'm kind of in the middle. I've seen so many weird and off the wall engien swaps that nothing fazes me anymore. Weirdest one was at a car show, guy had a '48 Tucker sedan with a 16 cylinder Caddillac engine. The one that stands out in my mind was a '56 Ford pickup that was "stretched" into a crew cab, then the body was lowered onto a '03 F350 dually chassis which housed a T444E engine with a 6 speed. Guy pulls a trailer with it, inside the trailer is a 1100HP twin turbo Viper.
