Does this surprise you? In light of Ford's decision to "lean on" Mustang suppliers using the Mustang name - "or derivatives thereof".
If suppliers have to "divorce" themselves from the Mustang name; then they might as well divorce themselves from selling exclusively Mustang parts.

The first Chevy I ever worked on changed my mind about GM products. They are simple, the interchange between cars, years and engines is unbeliveable (the same belhousing fits an inline 6, V6, small block and big block for example) and their are part for sale on every corner parts house. Not only that, but even slightly modified small block Chevies haul butt. It's hard not to appreciate the simplicity and factory support (the local Chevy dealer still carries pretty much everything for my wife's '69 427 Corvette, try that with a CobraJet Mustang) that the Chevy guys enjoy.

Zookeeper is right. I've had three 67-72 pick-ups over the years, plus various other chevies, and did an engine swap (among other things) in my buddies Z-28. Engines, intakes, trannies, you name it will swap. My biggest problem was keeping starters from cooking behind the headers on my last truck, but I was having a hard time finding ram horn manifolds. Now that I don't have the truck a pair surfaced in another friends garage.
Oh, and parts are cheap like borscht. The real draw back to the chevs though is esthetics and fit & finish. I don't think they ever built a decent door mechanism. You can put up with a windshield washer that doesn't work, but a door that you use multiple times a day should work well and at the least be easily serviceable.

Aaaaymen to that on both counts! The old "high-torque" -read: "HIGH DOLLARS"!- starter that I bought for my '76 one-ton GMC (but was the wrong "nose" assembly for a 350/Turbo 400 combo

Very, very nice! I'm a fan of lots of different brands of muscle, but Fords and MoPars have been my two favs. I'd love to own a '71 Challenger, or a '69 Super Bee, or a '68 Charger, or a....well you get the picture.

Hey guys, old Mopar muscle is really cool and all that; but it's kinda :OT: for this thread 
WORTH's truck is seriously cool; to beat that out you need to find something even more so...... say a '62 F100 unibody
If you want to scare yourself behind the wheel, give it, I dunno..... maybe a previously homeless T-bolt 427 under the hood?

No, actually it's my bad.... I forgot what thread I was on!
I like Mopars too.... even the newer ones. Mrs StDr's Quad Cab isn't quite in the same league as a '67 'Cuda, but it's a pretty righteous driver. You just can't have any fun with the gas gauge right out there in plain sight!
