'ol Cranky ....
...he knows deep down that Chevy makes a superior small block, that's why he keeps throwing it back up for discussion
Whatever engine turns your crank cranky. We might be stuck with the cobra body brick but that doesn't mean we're stuck with low performance engines, brakes and other items.
Compare the DEALER prices on crate motors and then list what you get for the money...Chevy wins hands down every time!
BTW; what totally convinced me was the 4 bolt offer on the 350 H.O.
Cranky; I can't imagine running a race car 300+ hp without a 4 bolt main. What's Ford High Performance thinking about? Are you sure you are pushing your race car hard enough ?
And screw that "resale" value argument, just let the next guy change it out if he doesn't like Chevy. big deal.
I crack up everytime I hear a SBC decreasing the value by $10K. Hell the engine doesn't even cost that much! Pull the engine out, sell the thing as is...
Besides, once the prospective buyer sees what the SBC does, he will change his tune.
CRANKY please don't confuse the children with that BS about what brands professional NASCAR engine builders use.
...they use machine shops against (yes branded) hand picked blocks, but the difference ends right there. The internal parts ARE NOT FORD, CHEVY or STUDEBAKER from that point on.
Christ on a crutch. Nobody ever accused us kit car guys of being finance wizards.
I have a Question for the Crankster; Why do you race on a cobra body?
scratch
