Maybe all of you are missing the boat, it isn't a Chevy and it isn't a Ford, it's a "SOUTHERN". Now, Chevy couldn't come to agreements with furnishing the drive trane and Ford did. This has to do with warranties and service. Now, the way I look at it, SOUTHERN can use any engine they want, it's their build. If you don't like it, don't buy it. And if you don't want to buy it, don't bad mouth it. :confused:
