Yeah all you have to do is have a different motor plate, the bolt points on the chassis for the plate will be the same, so no extra work involved for the most part. I'm not sure about the transmission, you should be able to use the same just have a different bell-housing.

..and I'm REALLY not sure about wiring. I would imagine you'd have to do something different on the ignition box because the distributor would be different but I hate wiring, not my thing.

Very easy to have a wire harness extension to make up for the distributor placement. Very easy to switch trans/ bellhousing combo out with oil system for each make. Radiator too. All virtually the same stuff, doing the same thing.
It's Scott bloomquist for goodness sake. There is so much he has done 5 years ago that is just now becoming status quo.
Sorry to cause such a stir about blue oval or bow-tie brand. Just reporting what I saw.

Actually, believe it or not, the RY45 style engines require a Chevy mid plate and use a Chevy bell housing. They also run a Chevy style radiator with the inlet and outlet on the same side as a Chevy. They are completely opposite of the D3 style Ford engines (and all other Ford engines to this point). The ignition is crank trigger on the Durham fords and they utilize all the same boxes and coils as the Chevy engines. So the crazy thing is that if you are running an RY45, it is easier to swap a Chevy engine in and out than it is to swap a RY45 with a D3 engine. The fuel pumps are all ran off of the oil pump and the rear of the engine, so the only thing you actually have to change is the headers.

Some drivers have complained about drivability issues with the Roush Fords. Makes me wonder about Bloomers switch!

Everything looks better with a ...BOWTIE... on it!

[Josh Bayko]

There isn't a super late model engine out there that is anything close to an OEM Ford or Chevy block. All this debate is pretty silly.
