Ford with bow tie engine...

When are people going to learn sarcasm does not translate on the board without actually notifying one is making a sarcastic remark?

Sarcasm can translate over the board. IF the board knows that the person conveying it has the knowledge to back it up. With Mike, this is not the case.

Smiley's help.

That NASCAR weighs a ass load more and has more air drag than a Indy car. So it needs the torque. They are also 5.9l 360ci engines.

They use the pushrod engines because thats the rules.

Umm...358

Ford IMO has always been a few steps ahead on technology, in not just engines but in the whole assembly line thing and all that...

How the fuck do you qualify this statement?

Did ford come out with the small block first? Nope, they were still running their shitty flatheads when chevy busted their ass with an OHV v-8.

Put a stock for stock (real stock, not DFWM stock) 2000 z28 up against a Mustang of the same vintage. Who's going to win?

Yeah, Ford created the assembly line, congrats to ole Henry.

Wasn't Ford one of the one's bitching when Chrysler was spankin that ass in Nascar back in the 60's and 70's. They sure are at the fore front of tech aren't they.

Wow you missed that one by miles.

The modular motors are huge, dee dee dee.

Sarcasm much?

I was making a joke on displacement not physical size. Holy cow.

have you ever seen an ls1 next to a 4.6 dohc? smaller? how do you keep making this stuff up? the 7.0l ls7 looks like a baby next to the behemoth 4.6 dohc.

Displacement vs hp arguments are stupid. If you can make more usable power, do it with less money, have more reliability and get better fuel economy would you still want to go with the smaller displacement engine just out of brand loyalty?

Look at Indy and Nascar. They make the same power but the open wheel cars do it with 3.5L DOHC V8s and the redneck series uses 5.8L pushrod engines. Would it make any sense for Dale Jr to run the DOHC V8 when the old school stuff makes a crap ton more torque and gets the same economy just because he likes Honda?

You call ford a boat anchor but they make the same power and are smaller, I think the GM engines would hold a boat better. Lol

the ls1 is similar in size to a sbf, ya, ford makes much smaller motors

LOLlol

The engine does it on 91 octane.

Anyone who would put a GM motor in a ford should have their head chopped off. WTF happened to brand loyalty?

I am first in line. Brand loyalty? WTF is that? If Ford is putting Chinese transmissions in cars then I would rather have quality over loyalty any day. What about using Ford parts on a Chevy? I have done that as well and will probably do it again in the near future.

With a HPP tune.
