I also do not like the idea of a Chevy engine inside a Ford, but it's still a lot better than the 302 from the other kits. Maybe I just don't like Ford engines besides the flathead, 429 Boss, and the 427 SOHC in any cars other than what they were born in.
As for the front axle, I am very disappointed. Maybe they will correct this in the future releases along with the traditional frame. Still getting 2 or 3 of these kits, hopefully.
