I can't belive you guys..
Everyone argues whatever they own to be the best. Everything else be damned!

Evan, they'll never get it. They are just jealous!

You are arguing with one guy who drives an Audi, another who loves small blocks, and another who lives in NJ.
Give up man, they all stick together.

Rick, the NOS block I found was brand new still in cosmoline and I had to pay $4500.00 for it. It seems the prices keep going up. Just last night I tried to buy another on EBAY, and $4550.00 was not enough to make the reserve.

It is true they are getting harder and harder to get but they are out there like Evan is.

I prefer the Iron block, not because it makes more HP or it is heavier, or that it has better oiling etc. I prefer it simply because it is one of the components I can still put in my cars that is original.

When I owned the ERA and was asked if it was real, it was always nice to be able to say, The engine, transmission and the rear end ARE.

It wasn't just Ken Miles, or Road and Track making these claims on Cobra numbers.
My uncle's second cousin did the 0-100-0 in 13.7 seconds. This event was well documented in Turkish Racing Journal.

Annual Fig and Olive Run just outside of Istanbul in 1966 with 7 observers and witnesses have signed of on this event as being the real thing.

The document was also signed by my uncle Mustafa Pasha. There are even some goat blood at the bottom of the document attesting to it's authenticity.

Aluminum is man made. Iron made the man.

I think this year they will change the name of the contest in Hawai to Aluminum Boy instead of IronMan!

I also would like to come clean on having tampered with the poll count.
The fact that it kept on reading 427 repeatedly should have been obvious to everyone. Obviously for some it wasn't. 411 additional vots were cast in Chicago by dead relatives of mayor Daley.

For those who take these things too seriously I apologize. Now go vote somewhere else.

If one of the choices ended up higher than the other will that be the definitive end to this argument? If it is, that too can be arranged.

Only people who should use aluminum motors should be those with a weight disadvantage. Aluminum would go a long way to ofset the weight balance.

If aluminum is so good, why don't they put aluminum sleeves in Iron motors? Haha!
