What is the best FORD engine per dollar

[lovehamr]

Personally I’m finding the diatribe kind of refreshing and amusing, no need to ban anyone. I also found no dichotomy with the initial posters question. But as is the case in any on-line forum, different viewpoints, desires and opinions have gotten mixed in and some just need to relax. I’m the one who originally posted the 385 series as an answer to his question because as far as Fords go with his question it can’t be beat. But if you look at my tag line you’ll see that I chose to build a stroker 428 for my Cobra. Why? Because that’s what I wanted for it and I don’t need any justification other than that. Neither should anyone else. Look at that new BDR that Bill posted with the chebbie; I’m sure that for someone that’ll be the cat’s ***, just not for me.

Agreed, just ignore the posts that offend you and it wall eventually work itself out. If the moderators banned everyone that offended others, or that was the focal points of an outcry, we'd have a pretty dull forum. Not to mention the fact that a lot of the long time posters would have been kicked off long before they became long time posters (Ernie? ). I might even fall in to that category. Ron61 is an exception -- in 17,000+ posts I've yet to catch him offend anyone.

Personally, the whole "proctology" and old English thing is bit childish, but he does give the thread a new flavor. I guess every site needs a Dennis Rodman.

Again, as I mentioned earlier, my feeling is that what you lose in hp/$ with the FE is won in the end by the increased resale $.

Well, everyone can't be expected to orchestrate sophisticated and erudite attacks on the other club members.

Ok, I'm going try this nicely...

Mr. Rodknock,

I believe, at this point, we ALL understand your position and that ANY "FE" is superior to any other engine family regardless of the alternative engines power, cost or any other determining factor for that matter.

We get it...again

I am curious,

I see you have Kirkham with an all aluminum "FE".
Did you build the car and the motor yourself?

Hey, look Doc, I understand your role here is to antagonize people of this Forum. If that makes you happy and your world spin clockwise, then that's great for you. However, my feeling is that there are some people who get behind a keyboard and screen and it makes them feel that they can leap tall buildings, run faster than a train and see through walls.

Of course I never said ANY FE is superior to any other engine family, but if that's your comprehension of what I said then what else can I say to you. Arguing with you is ineffective and a waste of time.
