Thread: SB Ford builders please.......

thats what im wondering i read the first paragraph and realized that by reading it i was supporting it and quickly put it down

rice boys are so funny, they invest $5000 into their car to add 200lbs of body kit which also adds a bunch of wind resistance(specially the ones that flap when they're going fast because they dont even know how to secure them properly), a big spoiler that adds uneaded down force, an exhaust system that isn't even needed unless they had a big deisel, and a bunch of useless parts that get their car to peak at about 220 hp..... which i can build an engine for $5000 that will make my car, that looks cool stock, run with about 400hp.... it just really doesn't make since to me... and dont even get me started on the "bling"

Well lets see hear,302 H.O.,427 side oiler,428 scj,429scj,the 460,then we have the boss motors.......... What were the factory chevy motors,327 hipo,427 hipo and........

Gee, looking at it that way it looks like; keep trying to get it right over and over vs getting it right the first time, every time......................

Then we got the tunnel port the flathead......Cammer then we got the,we need a good list of the factory power houses,chevy and ford. I know the 427 vette motors were the hot ticket.

Some folks ain't got no sense of humor.

Shawnlee28,you forgot about the LS6 in a Chevelle and the GNX Regal both of which where faster in the 1/4 mile than any Ford.
When geared correctly the only Ford that would run with either car was an AC Cobra and I really would not call it a "Factory Car".
The big difference was you could get the LS6 Chevelle or the GNX Regal very easily and for the AC Cobra you would have to wait a long time.
Some of the engines you talk about are not very common.
Are you still laughing now ?? And are you still confused ??

While I don't necessarily disagree with your comments about those two GM car, you must not have been around in real time for the Cobra. There wasn't much of a wait at all, at least in the major markets. In fact, I remember seeing new 427 Cobras on dealer show room floors a full year after production stopped. It actually took a few years before the "mania" took hold.

I love Chevies, but I've seen many wave bye-bye to Hemi taillights.

Something that ran mid to high 12's right off the showroom floor on skinny bias ply tires definitely got my attention and respect.

How in the world do you expect them to get enough down force on the rear wheels so they get maximum traction if they do not have the big spoiler?? Oh wait they have front wheel drive don't they.
