Stepside 454; I knew this would be like stirring up the old hornets nest. But you got right in there and made my point for me. I've fought with some of my chevy friends over this time and time again. My one friend bought some high doller heads with 2.02 intake valves,that he plans on racing at the lake land drag strip. When I seen them,all I did was say those intakes look a little small are all chevy valves that small. Man-o-man you'd of thought that I had just set him on fire. HE! HE! He said well I ain't runnin no big block like you. I then said I ain't runnin no big block,I'm runnin a small block cleveland. Then I told him that the cleveland 2V heads have a 2.05 intake valve. He told me well your heads ain't much bigger then mine. Then I really started laughing, and told him that I was runnin the 4V heads that have a 2.19 intake valve. Now he stated he didn't care what I said that the cleveland was a big block, then he stormed off. Well I get the same reaction from alot of my chevy friends. I even have another friend that races round asphalt tracs and he said that he ain't never seen them let a 351 cleveland race against a chevy 350 class. HE! HE! I then told him, thats because the chevy boys cry to much cause they can't win a race. So he got mad and left.
I don't know why them chevy boys are getting so mad, I mean after all it's not my falt Ford built such a good motor. HE! HE!
