No that's a Chevy. Ford is usually in the wall.

 

[Bubba]

If I can interject without getting ensnared in any love fest, I purposely built Ford and Mopar street rods to prey on smug GM owner's.

The only thing funnier than blowing their doors off in my turbo charged and intercooled Sunbeam Tiger with Ford 5L police interceptor, or Fox bodied 84 T Bird with a heavily massaged fuel injected 460, was doing in my Dodge B-300 van with massaged 440.

Watching their expressions in the mirror as I tore them a new one, go from disbelief to despair, to anger when they were outclassed so badly as to look stupid.

That doesn't mean that GM doesn't make something providing more even races, but the difference is that us Ford and Chrysler aficionados are not the ones making the despairing jokes.

I built many 440 chrysler motors, easiest way to get a dependable 11 second car I found. For money (and more speed) I ran my GM. Never taught any lessons by those cars Im afraid. certainly not a van! Only chysler that beat me regularly was a 69 road runner with 426 hemi. It was full race, acid dipped body panels the works, set up for 1/8th mile strip.
the hemis were brutal. The rest, 67 camaro with stroker 331 walked away most nights.

While I am sure they exist, I was never beaten by a ford. Most were running Chevy or Chrysler where I was. Actually, while not much of a US car fan these days, Ford likely makes the best domestic car reliability wise, at least in my opinion.

How can one not like the newer Mustangs?

 

[Bubba]

One of the things that I remember from the era that those jokes came from, was that none of the vehicles were all that reliable and all required regular fiddling,

That, and at 100,000 miles it was game over! Rebuild time!

I heard somewhere he was also a electrician ....a reliable source

 

[Kindbud]

The Chevy 350 motor sucks!!! I'll take theat Cleveland 351 Windsor over a 350 all day. Stroke a 350 then a 351 and your figure out who makes the better motor....That 454 was Chevys only win but that's because of the price the 460 is stronger just so much more expensive than the Chevy..... Getting sidetracked... Don't get me started on motors lol

 

[Hippie420]

I never was much of a motorhead. I was a 16 year old kid, driving around in a car that your mother's would like, with stock hubcaps and muffler. When you're selling weed and street drugs in school, you really don't want to be noticed.

Well it ran in my family. I was turning wrenches before I ever went to school. My pops passed me the addiction trait and the need for speed! He used to race Nitro methane Harleys if you have saw them it's nuts a 2 cylinder motor making a bike go 200+ in a quarter mile smh

 

[Kindbud]

Never will I forget watching my pops going down the strip on fire never letting off the gas smh wish I still had that old VHS tape of that race he didn't even know that the whole bike was on fire until afterwards lmao

 

[joeb631a]
