Ford with bow tie engine...

what the fuck you say

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.

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

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

[Lason]

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

Cause the mullets says so!

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]

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

[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.

My experience...it depends on what you started with. If you start out with a long block with nothing but the block and heads built and you don't have the timing cover, water pump, or any of the other dress for the front of the motor like pullies, brackets etc, it is a ROYAL PITA to hunt these down and get the right combination. There are 8 different timing covers and they have to be used with the correct rotation wp. There are several different water pumps too depending on the outlets, rotation, depth, steel or aluminum... Then you have to get the right combination of pulleys so their depth all match up to get a belt to align and I'm just talking simple V-belt pulleys. That is all besides the different balancers, flexplates, flywheel combinations that have to work together. Also the oil pans and pump pickup. If you get into the early 5 bolt SBF, there you have issues with finding a trans to fit. There is a long as list of things if you are staring from scratch.

SBC....there are things that do not interchange, but its a lot less and there are more options.

so the 405hp ls6 > 430hp ls3 and 351's are harder to work on than 350's...

At least then he'd be right for once.

[Grimpala]

so the 405hp ls6 > 430hp ls3 and 351's are harder to work on than 350's...

I think he's just looking at which numbers are bigger.

Wonder if he knows the ls6 came out before the ls3?

yamaha?

god bless.

Yes, My old 80s enginneered Yammy.

Love telling Yamaha crotch rocket guys that my car is Yammy powered also. They scoff until they try to keep up with me.
