...........Wow, we're talking about who's "6-cyl" is better on a Cobra forum!! This is getting better than most "BB vs SB" threads I've read lately!
By the way, I had a 69 Z-28 w/ a DZ 302 engine from '79 thru '85 and I always dusted the 302 'Stangs. Had a buddy in HS with one and he really had to rev it up to get the thing going (heads weren't right for the street - in my opinion). By then, I was way ahead of him. They were both rated @ 290HP but I remember Hot Rod testing the Chevy 302 once on the dyno and it was almost 400HP STOCK. You could get the Chevy with duel 4's also, but I thought my single carb ran better (those duel 4 manifolds fetch a huge $ today though!). Had a '70 Chevelle w/ a LS-6 454 after that and a '69 L-89 427 Vette after the Chevelle. Never had a problem with Stangs (SB or BB's) in either of those cars either. .............Cobra's on the other hand, were the problem! Always owned Chevy's (besides owning a couple Ford trucks), but have always loved and respected the Cobra. Still a huge fan today! ......I just need to find one I like!!
