351W Ford Racing ....only had it a month, but it is everything I had hoped. I was around the the early 60's when the Cobra Racing History was written by the small blocks and happen to see the 64 Targa so when I was ready (and able) to have a replica I wanted one that was "close" to the Guney/Grant FIA CSX 2323... but as a 68 year old poser I also wanted a trouble free Sunday Morning Cruiser. My 1st choice was a Webber 289 Hi po...but....after I considered all the pro's and con's I ended up with the 351. Cost should not be a issue as the life cycle cost of the big block is actually less than the small block but as I was interested in the historical aspects and I prefer the sound and performance of the small block. Yes I have had a half dozen big blocks and I also wanted the warranty and convience of having a Ford Dealer every 100 miles across America....so I have no size envy, but I must admit that the majic number for teenage boys is 427 !!! But they know little about the history of the Turd...
