Ford with bow tie engine...

[slostang281]

Maybe people modding cars want to use the best parts out there? Any common SBC and LSx will make more power than any boat anchor Ford could, GM engines are also more reliable. While people are putting GM engines in Fords, they are also putting GM transmissions in the cars; they are stronger and trouble free as well. The GM rear ends suck unless it's 12 bolt but at least Ford has something that's worth a damn powertrain wise. I say a 79-04 Mustang with a GM engine/trans and 8.8 rear end is the best combo out there. Fast, reliable, and cheaper.

Anyone who would put a GM motor in a ford should have their head chopped off. WTF happened to brand loyalty? Oh yeah, and there is no way you could make 500hp on a LSx motor with just a camshaft change. The MAF/TB/injectors/intake/cylinder heads, and the rest of the rotating assembly would never take the abuse, especially N/A. Plus they all sound like a fucking farm truck, the aftermarket parts are high, and they all have piston slap.

A Chrysler Hemi with stock block, crank, and heads can make 2500hp. Who can top that?

Can make.

What does it make n/a? I'm sure it can hold the power.

But it's not going to make 2500 with out a poweradder.

If that's the case check out Nelson racing engines. They have a 2500hp Tt SBC DOHC 32v!

It really comes to down to cylinder head efficiency. The 5.0 liter 4V has a good setup, thus it makes good power for its size. It doesn't matter the make of the engine, it is the head that matters and how many cubes are under it. Take a near 600 CI BBF with a wedge head and build it up for maximum power, like with Kaase's P51 head and you can get to 1000 hp N/A. Change the pistons and intake and put on a hemi head and there is just no comparison, often times the hemi head will pick up close to 200 more hp. You can do that same comparison with a Chevy or a Dodge and their various heads. That is why many types of heads are outlawed in various classes and why the 351C 4V was and still is a bad ass bastard for an OEM head.

A more effcient engine is a better engine in my book.

A 604 10.0 liter super cobra jet engine makes 900 n/a hp.

Lol

[91CoupeMike]

If ford makes comparable power with over 1000cc less, that would make them more efficient would it not?

A STOCK Mach 1 put down 320rwhp and 330 torque.

So much for that over rated.

With a HPP tune.

[Grimpala]

This would be more comparable

Other than the gaudy billet, that's not a bad looking engine.

[carbd89sleeper]

Although you make a good point, the pictures you used to do it aren't exactly apples to apples.

This would be more comparable

I had a CRF50 with a 88ci kit on it. Scariest shit EVAR!! It would high chair with me on the bars no problem!!

i have a tb superhead 88cc and it is a lot of fun. i have it geared for top speed (smallest rear sprocket 31 tooth and largest fron 18 tooth) and it'll still highchair in 1st easy (and second if you can get weight transfer). My BIL has a 117 stroker that is stretched and it will out run me on a honda 400ex quad that is modded. it feels insane.

ci for ci give me a modded crf50 motor

CRF50 engine w/:
124 Superhead w/ one off JE piston and stroker crank, puts it to 138cc, Oversized valves One off de-comp built by Loganbuilt 28MM carb

Makes 18hp

5.0l = 5000cc's

5000 cc's/ 138 cc's= 36.2

18hp x 36.2 = 652.17hp normally aspirated.

the crf50 is the baddest engine ever according to mike!

ci for ci, give me a 2jzgte

Get outta here with that ricer logic.

[Lason]

C.I. for C.I. , give me a ford motor.

ci for ci, give me a 2jzgte

[Grimpala]

I'm gonna go find me a used Viper and drop a Ford V10 in it just to piss off some people.

Better yet, get a ranger and put a mazda motor in it.
