If you take a quick look under your chevy you will notice that the front driveline output shaft is on the passenger side, Ford's are on the driver's side so it will not work. It appears your mechanic is right.

The reason it doesn't work? that's simple. It's a ch*vy. It's like trying to fly an airplane without wings. It just ain't possible. My advice. Stick to the Ford and dump the "truck" in the nearest river.

He has a good start on building a truck; a 208 for a ford!
On a serious note, you can swap all the hard parts into the chevy case if you need to.
