Rob,
Surprisingly little, in fact. Personally, I think the Ford engine is a better
fit, but I have seen both Fords and Chevys used. Check out the web site below
for photos of a Ford conversion under construction. If interested, let me
know, and I can direct you to others who are making, or have made, the
conversions.
