Ford with bow tie engine...

[Baba Ganoush]

I've noticed this as well. They're the fox body of engines. Millions of parts, millions of combinations, and ease of availability. SBC were the hot rod standard for years so the "mullets" don't venture outside that realm. I'm not one for badge mixing so I would prefer a classic to be kosher.

Presently, you could put a supra motor in a '95 Taurus Wagon and it would be innovative. Someone's probably done it and posted the complete step-by-step guide on the interwebz.

So to Tannerm, if a chebby in a mustang pisses you off, what about a import motor in a stang? Im contemplating that very thing for my next toy

[46foxcoupe]

aftermarket started supporting the sbc as a replacement to the flathead when it was released in 55. that aftermarket support has carried till now. you see a ton more ford powered rods now than you use to.

[Lason]

LOL, in your opinion they're junky? Why?

Cause the mullets says so!

[Nash B.]

Well tell them that, the mullets always say "oh I can build me a chevy motor but I cant get a ford to run right"

350s are cheap, and yeah you can make them quick but IMO theyre junky.

IMO

4.6 DOHC > ls1
5.0 DOHC > ls3
302/351 > 305/350
BBF CJ > BBC

Ls6 and ls7 are the best n/a American made engines. IMO.

Just so much stupid in one post. I'm amazed.

[krazy kris]

what the fuck you say

[Grimpala]

You're actually saying that the piece of shit 4.6DOHC is better than an LSJuan?

Srsly??

Lason Vs. 91CoupeMike...
BEGIN!

Not true, the 351/302 is just as easy to work on as a 350

You can make more power for less money with a 350, that's probably the biggest reason, along with Chevy put that engine in everything so they are all over the junkyards

I've always been under the impression the SBC is the easiest and cheapest v8 you can build.

ANYONE can build a 350, but only a few can build a 351 or 302.

Your showing your age junior, enlighten us on why it takes someone special to work on a 302/351. This will get good.

[Lason]

The LSX in a Mustang is overrated anymore. You can make a Ford motor just as fast.

But not as easily. Show me a 302 or 351 that you can pull from the junkyard, pop a cam in and make 450hp.

Why do people use mustangs? Thats right, because they work and are cheap. Same with LSX's and the same with SBC's back in the day. They were everywhere and cheap to build.

[krazy kris]

Ive seen a 32 3 window coupe with a 4.6 DOHC from a 97 cobra. It takes the Cake as the coolest.

I guess they wanted to go even slower

[mustangguy289]

Ok, I figured so... I would love a clean ford powered tudor, but i swear all are effing bow tie powered! I can kinda understand, still basphemy, the LSx mustangs that are strictly for strip numbers...
