Ford Powered Camaro
In keeping with the hybrid motif of my last post here is a horse of a different color. A Chevrolet Camaro, seen by many as the ideal expression of a ponycar, wearing a blue oval on its valve covers.
A bit of imformation about the engine from the owner’s website:
Ford Motorsport R302 Block, 2.83″ Sonny Bryant Billet Racing Crank, Carrillo Rods, JE Dished Pistons, Canton Dry Sump Oil Pan, Raceline 3 stage oil pump, CompCams Timing Gear & Chain, CompCams 35-306-8 Blower/Computer Cam (284/290-.533/.544-LC114), AFR185 Heads, 1.72 Roller Rockers, CompCams Solid Roller Lifters, Ported Lower GT40 Intake with Custom Upper Intake, Twin 55mm throttle bodies, Vortech Fuel rails, Holley 50# Injectors, Accel DFI GenVII Fuel Injection System.
(Yes, FORD!) I already had it! Was going into a ’93 Mustang. Sold it for this ’68 Camaro. Engine is worth to much to let it go. This ought to get the shit stirring. There is a benefit! I can move it back farther for better weight distribution.
Here is a link to the builder’s website: Ron’s 68 Camaro RS/x
Thats horrible, a Ford engine in a camaro… dear god. I guess its payback, since I tell every Ford guy at the parts place I work at that I hate fords, and the only way id drive one is to put a chevy engine in it lol. Mmm a cougar with a chevy engine, now thats hot…

Way to go! I am considering a 455 buick for my 67 Firebird. The best part is brutal torque in a package as light as a small block chevy. I lke the idea of a Ford engine in a Camaro. I know of many swaps of a similar nature and each one is unique. which is more that anyone can say for a chevy powered whatever. Chevys are great, just too common.

Everyone has the right to there opinions. Some stronger than others. This is what makes amarica the best place in the world along with the muscle cars that Detroit blessed us with. I love all american muscle (I’ll admit Foreign too) Ford motors are far from crap. All motors have their issues in some way or another. Any motor properly set-up can produce serious power with outstanding reliability. This Twin Turbo 5.0 motor generates 700hp at 10psi of boost pulling to 7Krpm all day long. Good luck keeping up with it. Add more boost and a 100hp shot of NOS and watch out. But now your getting into power thats just crazy. And yes, a small block Chevy motor can do the same. Come to mention I haven’t seen any twin turbo Mopars yet?

beautiful car!!! I come from the diesel world where all the engines (all the good ones at least!) are built by a different manufacturer than the vehicle they’re installed in. I am not brand loyal. I use what works and what works well. I’ve built a number of SBF’s, but I’m not a Ford guy… a number of my buddies have LS1′s in Ford bodies. I’ve always said I’m not loyal to anything but logic. If you’ve got a good powerplant and a good car to put it in, who cares who originally built them? are they paying your bills?!?! The original “hot rods” were old Fords w/ Caddy, Chrysler, and Lincoln engines in them… Ever hear of a guy named Carroll Shelby? he took a little Brittish roadster and repowered it with American iron! I’m sure the britts whined and moaned the way some of you guys are! He also contacted Chevy first about the project, but they turned him down, so he went to Ford. I’m sure if they turned him down, he would have gone to Chrysler. Brand loyalists make me chuckle. I can understand if the brand is signing your checks and putting food on your table, otherwise it’s just silly!

I LIKE THIS CAR. Trust me, when you’re building a car of this caliber, there is NO confusion about engine choice. Keep in mind, this car can blow off the new Z06, the Ford GT, and lots of expensive Porsches and Ferraris. To all you Ford haters out there, respect the 302! The potential of those engines easily equals or exceeds that of your precious 350s, with 48 less cubic inches! This example is overbored and destroked, so I’m thinking the exhaust note at those high rpm’s would make anybody’s knees wobbly. The craftsmanship is superb, I am just not sure about the side pipes though. Leave those for the measly 300-400Hp crowd.

This is fun…
The only true reason there aren’t more brand swaps using Fords or Chryslers is because of the wallet size! Chevy’s are just cheaper not better. Anyone can purchase the same parts from the same aftermarket dealer. This (de-stroked) 302 is only in a Ford image. I don’t think anyone made a production passenger engine with over 700 HP! I do like the Boss stripe… “The Instigator!”
As far as innovation, Smokey Yunick would have been proud.
I don’t think it would be possible for a Chevy lover to slide behind the wheel, mat the pedal, hear the high pitch whine, dump the clutch and not burst into uncontrollable histeria… If it pins me in the seat, I’m all over it. I’m sure this car is what that’s all about! And can you say; “drifting anyone?”

I dont want to sound like a ford basher (even though I am) putting a ford motor in a 1st gen cam is payback for every classic ford pickup being rebuilt with the 350 (it really is the most economical choice). but i dont like it. a ford should be built with ford muscle and chevy with chevy. but some people settle and some people take the easy way out and thats too bad. I dont really like fords and would probaly never buy one besides the 67 gt500 or the daytona coupe (outta my league) but I drive mustangs, 2 of my friends have 04 machs, 1 is on his 2nd mach (wreck), dont worry he’ll never hear the end of it. and his first one ran a 12.7 in the quarter with just slp longtubes so they’re not slow they just arent for me theyre too short (wheelbase) i just think its funny they use all those cams. 4 cams and it only makes 300 horses. thats too much technology and not enough to show for it. Chevy has stuck by the tried and true pushrod and it is still clearly and obviously the best choice. if you search you will find that ford has been seriously talking about bringing back a new pushrod motor. theyre finally catching on

I’m a Chevy owner, and I honestly can’t see why you guys are getting your shit all up in a knot over this. The 8.2″ deck Ford motor saves you a good amount of weight over a 9″ or taller SBC, and it allows him to push the motor further back without worrying about the distributor running into the firewall, giving him better weight distribution for more performance. I don’t see how anybody can hate on a twin turbo dry sump small block that will make 700+ horsepower easily just because it doesn’t say Chevrolet on the valve covers.

I think I would have saved the engine to put in a ’63 Corvette Split Window.
The SBF has been around a long time and was the choice for some lots of other manufacturers in high performance applications: Shelby used it in his AC’s (Cobra), Chrysler used it in the Sunbeam Tiger, ……DeTomaso Pantera…. TVR Vixens….etc
Almost every Chevy guy I know has cursed the rear mounted distributor.

I like it! Like others who have posted here about this car, I don’t hate Chevys, but I do buy and drive Fords. Others here stated that “there’s a reason that people put chevy motors into Fords, because they’re better.” That’s just not the case. The reason that people put 350s into old Fords is because it’s the cheapest and easiest way to do it. There is no other reason. People take the easy cheap way out. Personally, I would rather keep my old Ford all Ford, even if it’s more difficult and ends up costing me more. I’ve owned old chevys, pontiacs, buicks, etc, but I kept them all GM. People who hate Fords are just haters, period. Narrow minded hate filled idiots. Don’t hate cars or the people who drive them. If there were no Fords or Chevys or Dodges, where would the fun rivalry be? For example, without chevys, I wouldn’t have camaros or vettes to beat up on with my 600HP normally aspirated ’95 Cobra R. Without chevys, I wouldn’t be able to have nearly as much fun! Keep the rivalry alive, but lose the hate.

you lot should stop boring each other about putting fords in chevys and vice versa, you should but raggin on at the Rice Vs Muscle debate!! (muscle wins!!)
i got incredibly angry at a colleague today because he suggested i buy a nissan 200zx off him and put the engine in my capri!, i said the idea is ludicrous, and the idea of a japanese engine in my classic ford is frankly nausiating!!
FYI: my capri is a european sister car to the mustang for you yanks!, and ive been planning to put either a 350 chevy or a 351 ford with a 6-speed Borg warner or TH350 in it for a few months now!

Unltimately, it is your car and you can do whatever you wish with. Personally, I absolutely love it… it’s about time. I know of a guy who put a 427 Ford engine in a 60′s Corvette and kicked some serious ass with it. I personally have a cross breed, a Fiat 124 Spider with a 306 Ford engine in it. The Italian sports car purists don’t like it too much, but I don’t care, all they will see is the tail lights
Well done! Always funny to see the Chevy guys get their panties in a bunch over stuff like this, when us Ford guys mostly let the Chevy powered Ford’s go by the wayside.
And unless you’re still stuck in the 70′s, I don’t believe the “Chevy is cheaper” argument holds much water these days.

And discrased it with the oval blue tags, woop-dee-doo.
It’s still Nice, Because It’s A Camaro, and of course, has allot more power then the stock 302 that came in the Camaro, due to modern advances.
Still though… the 302 is a shit motor all round xD

if I need to add weight to compensate how many pound?
Is there any formula, I could follow for this weight distribution, what is the relation between the wheel base length and ratio of the weight between front & rare of the car.

Being a diehard Ford fanatic, I couldnt help but smile when I saw the blue ovals on the valve covers but still, I always liked the looks of these era camaro’s. If the owner had put a Mopar hemi or a blown SBC in this car, It would still be a very nice car anyone would be proud to own and really, really proud to be able to say “I built this.”

Beautiful car and very creative. Iwould have done the same i I had the enging. Chevy and Ford are sibblings as they are all made by Americans, at least back then they were.

Its about time someone puts a Ford motor into a first-generation camaro. People have been putting Chebby motors into Ford for years so I’m glad you purists are squirming!!!!

Sweet looking ride man. I’m a brand loyalist, Ford till the day I die, blue blood, yada yada. you know how it goes. I do have to admit I cringe a little at the idea of a ford or chevy being powered by something other than a ford or chevy, just cause I think if the outside says one thing the inside should say the same. but its not my car, and I respect any car that is a good looking fast car… and that is a great looking fast car. makes that 302 look tiny though.

I have to say pay back hurts doesnt it.
I would like to say “If you Chevy guys hate this stop doing it to Fords!”
Because if you guys don’t I’m sure more of us Ford Guys will do this to your beloved Chevy’s
HHhhhhmmmm Maybe your all mighty Corvette with a 5.4L GT motor in it would be nice to do.

I love Chevy people. They are the Biggest Obama Supporters out there, GM (Goverment Motors). Ford never filed bankruptcy or had to ask Mr.Obama for a bail out. But most Chevys on the road have stickers on the back that are Anti-Obama. Didnt the head guy from Apple I-Phone become the CEO of GM?
look it up! GM= loser’s, just like the company

Just bought a 47 Ford P/U, that had a Chev in it. Now will have a 302 roller cam with Motor sports aluminum heads. Ford in a Ford. Story, friend when in 70″s bought a 57 Chev HT with no power plant. He found a 390 H.P. 4 speed in a wrecking yard in a wrecked Fairlane GT, and put it, along with the 9″ rear in 57 Chev HT. He’d race guys he’d meet cruising. They’d go out of town, and when he’d beat thier 55-57 Chev’s they’d ask if it was a big block. John would reply affirmative, and show them the bad ass H.P.390. The Chev geeks would go ballistic saying he ruined the 57. Ol Zav would remind them the Ford powered Chev beat them, and hand over the case of beer.

Payback is a b*tch, isn’t it? You know if it wasn’t for innovations by FORD people today’s NASCAR would still be a bunch of rednecks driving their ‘shine cars around the red clay tracks of Georgia and the Carolinas. I’ll go slow here because I realize all of you bowtie afficionados have trouble with sentences of more than six words.So I present these tidbits:
1. When Big Bill France decided to slow down the horsepower/cubic inch wars of the early ’70s Bud Moore proved that you could run a properly-tuned 351 Ford small-block very competetively at superspeedways. Now the limit for all NASCAR mills is 358CID.
2. All of motor racing owes the Wood Brothers, who have run ONLY FORD products for their entire 58 seasons in NASCAR, for their invention of the modern pit stop. Their pit stratagies were so fast that FORD asked the Woods to crew for Jimmy Clark’s Lotus powered by FORD at the 1965 Indy 500. The Woods’ pit crew was so fast when compared to the others of the day that Clark won the race by two full laps!
3. Ralph Moody of the famed Holman-Moody FORD-sponsored race team developed the front-steering and basic chassis set-up using the 1965 FORD galaxie as his prototype. Every car racing in NASCAR today uses Moody’s formula as their template. Moody was also instrumental in developing purpose-built frames, fuel-cell technology and primitive in-car two-way radio communications.
And as mentioned earlier ALL NASCAR vehicles run a FORD 9-inch rear end. Just goes to prove that FORD has always got your ass covered!
I don’t see any names associated with Chevrolet racing mentioned here. Calling Mr. Childress, Mr. Hendrick….. Oh that’s right, they just let the FORD people do all of the real work.
So if someone puts a FORD engine in one of your goddamn sainted Chevy vehicles that’s just too damned bad. You guys have been raping and pillaging beautiful FORD vehicles for years with your junkyard-cheap Shitbox 283s, 327s or 350s. To which I close by saying, “How do you like it?” Heh, heh, heh!
