Are you for or against "cross breeding"?

[big red]

The reason I asked is because I would run some parts but It seems to buy parts ford is more expensive.  And i saw a s-10 with a built 460 in it and it made me think...  But putting a 350 in a gto or firebird is kinda dumb imo. 

[Uncle Steve]

I agree!

I'm with old school. Don't matter how you arrive at the destination as long as you were there.

Wow you relize the new gto's and firebirds/transams run the ls1/ls2 right? The new gto's are actually like a 362ci or something but still and there all GM cars and motors. So not sure where your going with this.

WRONG! Pontiac made the Ventura for the 74 (or 75) year with only a 350 and a 4 speed. That was Pontiac's way of shrinking there gto down to compete with the nova's and duster's and smaller race cars of the 70's.  And yes Pontiac did create the venture by taking the gto and shrinking it down to make this car.

It's all cool and different

Dude what im saying is i dont like looking under the hood of a nice 69 gto judge and seeing a 350... That in my mind is dumb. and i truthfully dont care if they did it from the factory in 69 they didnt i no this.

[Crazymays77]

ok ok no matter how ya look at it the chevy small block 350 is a tried and true engine

[ProGrade]

Cross breeding means   having a ford car/truck with a chevy motor, or a chevy car/truck with a ford, dodge with a chevy and so on so forth.. are you for or against?

This kinda changed gears.  It was a good topic and open question...not sure where it is going now....

ok now your down to 69.  you keep changing cars. I just was giving you a little history on cars with your statement on 350's in a firebird and gto, then you get mad, change cars, so I try to inform you on the gto's and now your getting even more mad and changing years again. I get what your saying though. everyone has their likes and dislikes.

[MR NASTY]

A ventura is not a gto. If your gonna change cars why can't he change yrs just saying. When it comes tho classic muscle no I wouldn't cross. Nothing sweeter than factory original in muscle cars.

[woody11769]

take a 442 and put it into a ford now that is crazy

Thers a guy in the area that has a ford powerd cutlass lol.............If its good enough for Johnny Cash its good enough for me.........I always lived my life with the I wanna be theonlyone on my block to have one kinda guy........"Dare too be Differnt"

Hate to tell you but In 74-75 Pontiac didnt know where to go with the gto to compete with the smaller cars so they took the venture and stabbed it with all the goodies they wanted to build that year gto with seeing how they were done building the big gto's. 

[85cHeavyMetalBogger]

i think my dad had a 70 or 71 gto with a factory 350 that he beefd up

[MR NASTY]

Still not a gto now is it.

[old school truck dude]

1951 Ford F-100 with an Olds 394 and an Offenhauser 6-pack. Hows that for cross-breeding? And a 1980 Mercury Capri with a SBC 350. Now were back on topic, right? Im all for it.
