John,
What holds down your air cleaner? How does it work w/o oil filter? How come the radiator is not hooked up? Doesn't it overheat in AZ? :LOL: |
427 SOHC. I'm too stupid to compress a pic in order to attach.:confused:

Another Chev here. This one is a mildy worked over LS1. Strict emissions laws down here rule out all of the traditional power plants. In my opinion the Chev Gen3 and Gen4 motors are the best of the current crop of modern V8 power plants.

Just kidding. Small blocks and big blocks both have good and bad points. |

Wait, I need to go get some popcorn...again
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...
