This stuff always gets em stirred up! IMHO it's easier to keep a Ford motor in a Ford vehicle, unless you like fabricating. I have a 455 Olds motor that makes well over 500 ft/lbs of torque just above idle, and I would never put it in my "new" 88 LX. Just my 2 cents. I did way too much fabricating getting this Olds motor and 400 Turbo trans into a 79 Cutlass. I guess I'm a bit of a hypocrite because I used a Ford 9-inch rear. I didn't trust a 12-bolt. Never did break one drivetrain part.
