I wasnt serious, just stating my opinion. I was never a die hard Ford guy but the bail out made me that way, it's not ford vs chevy vs dodge thing for me, its political. I think who needs to calm down is Thundersport302, relax man its just a forum, if you're going to let it f*ck up your whole day than dont read it.

Shadow hay man we all have the High test running through our vanes. Man chevys ford and dodge what ever. We all are gear heads. Now that is the bottom line. Hay i like talkin to you and if we ever met we would have a blast. Us car guys are thick headed over the chevy V ford ETC. But bottom line that is great. With that have a great day and keep loving those fords THEY ARE ASSUME. Thanks

i believe the car world thrives off the age-old ford vs chevy rivalry.. or american vs puppies trap for that matter.. without it, it would get a bit boring at times

I think I'll put an LSx in my Tbird at tax time.

I'm serious. Wouldn't cost very much more for the parts needed to swap in a 351w. Not counting the costs of the engine, wiring, and ecm for it.

They run NINES????????????????????????????? Right from the factory??????????????????????

LMAO, So does the Cobra Jet. The 650 HP GT500 probably has that potential as well. How about a bolt on 2012 GT running 9's. Nobody (hopefully) is taking any of this serious. I suppose i could repeat that 3 times to make my point lol. Personally, I'm trolling purely out of boredom and enterntainment value alone. I think it's funny and I couldn't care less what anybody else thinks. Fact is, Anything Ford does, GM will match and vice versa. That's how it goes. LSblah is not the wet spot of all things auto. I have a healthy respect for what they are, I just don't care for product "B". Fact is, we could go back and forth all day long posting youtube videos and what not and prove nothing. They are all nothing more than air pumps. Get over it.

Haha. It would be neat but like I said, it would be distasteful imho. Just about any (efi) swap would be similar in cost when excluding the cost of the engine, wiring and ecm.

A wise old fella I know once told me the reason why he was a big fan of chevys. 1 wire to keep it running back in the day, unlike ford that takes 20 wires and a brain box, and dodge that takes 40 wires that talk to this brain box that talk to this brain box that talks to this one.

He says now.... hell it doesnt matter anymore the wiring all sucks anymore.

They all have their high and lowpoints, cost and availability of the parts is usually the make or break. I did find out recently that it is cheaper to BUILD a 5.2 or 5.9 magnum dodge motor than it is to build a freakin 3.9L v6

In the long run its just about lines, stance and just over all appearance.............. Unless youre checking out a 49 dodge pickup at a car show and look under the hood and see a 350 chevy with some BS wanna be mopar styled 4 bolt valvecovers. I literally had a WTF moment lol

Ah. here proves my point. love it. Take these cars to the track and the stang wins consistently (imho). Regardless it's close. Obviously, one car is far less ugly than the other as well as not relying on welfare to get things done.

I will say this...I think Ford dropped the ball with the ass -end of the...not sure exactly what year, but maybe it's the '10...looks like something a committee of ex-Civic fanboys came up with..

The rest of it though is ok...I myself dont really care for the looks of new(er) camaros...but I also don't have a raging hard on to say that about them every other post.

Of the three pony cars...looks alone...Challenger trumps the others.

Here's some food for thought, since you keep bally-hooing "welfare" and such. What about Ford's under the table support of Hitler during WW2? Or is that too political..or too true for you guys?

Cause....it IS true.

I am against newer mutang in general. Not the cars, but the types of people that are drawn to them. An lsx would cost about the exact same as a 351, if you were starting 3.8

Shadow No joke they have latterly hundreds of them in a dumpster behind the building. BRAND NEW. I am not kidding no JOKE. We normally get up their twice a year and i will ask them what they do with them. The guys are great. Jr knows a bunch of them. Thanks

probably mis-stamps, which is stupid to just throw them away.. they can still sell them at a discounted price, like interco tire does with their mis-stamped TSL's.. time to go dumpster diving :hick:

small block fords can now run with a single wire.. there are aftermarket H.E.I. distributors on the market now, i have about 6 or 7 of them in my shed, brand new in the box.. my 306 in my buddy's S10 is currently running 1.. i love it, it uses a GM cap, rotor and coil, so the aftermarket availability is DEFINITELY there for it.. i dropped in an MSD 50,000v coil and it runs 100 times stronger than any ford distributor with an MSD box.. needless to say, he needs a new excuse now :p lol

I just feel it is not right to put a Chevy engine in a Ford. If I owned a Chevy, I would not want a Ford engine in it either.
