My thoughts of a Ford V8 in an Isuzu? I have no preference between Ford or Chevy. They both have very proven track records. And both are easy to work on. The only problem I have is, the bellhousing on a Ford is larger and would require more firewall space. And the distributor is in the rear on a Ford. Also requiring to place the engine farther forward. Not as big a problem with the Chevy V8. I have also found that Ford parts are a tad bit more expesive. Again, I love both engines. Just more trouble for the Ford to be installed.
