But I don't want the same block that I currently have.

And my block, as well as your block, aren't technically FORD blocks. So where do we fit in anyway?

Take a step back and don't take it personal. My guess is boredom.

Agree it could have been better worded, if I could edit the voting questions I would, change I wouldn't change a thing to will stay with the SBF or will stay with the BBF depending on how you are voting.

In all honesty I do think most participants will get it, in essence - having experience with one of 'em, would you keep it or change to the other.

Hopefully back to regular scheduled programming without further adieu.

It would be nice for those who have both (or two of the same) to vote twice, the bigger the population, the more refined the data. My suggestion would be if you have a favorite between the two - vote the favorite.

I see this topic as Club Cobra's next poll.

Who can or cannot "see worth a shi*? That would really be a telling poll.

My 331 becomes a 662 with boost (double atmosheric pressure), so I'm perfectly content.

I never thought of it that way but it makes sense if you think about CID a little bit
