Just as a point of interest, SBC's can be had at 454 cubic inches and 620 or so HP on pump gas. 427 SBC's in drag trim (13.5:1) at 650HP.
I agree about the speed controversy of the two cars in the day.

I agree, HOWEVER, 454 CI. small blocks haven't been around very long. Until recently, 383 was the best you could do. I'm new to Fords but I know SBC's and BBC's like the back of my hand so don't try to BS me. Like I said, I've been building them for years.

Lose the attitude ass clown.
Mitchell was casting the World block to handle those strokes in the early 90's and so was Maskin at Dart. Ronnie Shaver and Shafiroff's been building them as long also, amongst others.
Nobody's built or been buying 383's except entry-level circle guys for a decade and clowns with lowered Monte Carlos. Has that been your clientele "for 40 years"?
Really bad form to hammer Sal and I with your self-perceived authority on a light discussion forum. Your memory and manners, probably like your building skills, needs updating. Brent has a sticky thread called "Respect, respect, respect".:
Respect, Respect, Respect!!!
I posted it here certain you wouldn't look for it.
When you wake up, your clothes may be back in style.
No faces.

Then I suppose you should re-read it as well.

I very familiar with the Motown & Warhawk blocks but since Sal was referring to a friend with a "T-Bucket" and nobody has built one of those in the last 30 years, I was assuming he was talking about a small block from Chevrolet since at that time, it was the only source. My mistake. As far as his "tuning abilities", go the the Lightning forum and find out the truth before you start flapping your jaws.

Sorry if I offended anyone, just tired of know-it-alls that have mouths that are faster than their cars and have never actually built anything more than a model car as a child. Like I said before, if your resume' stacks up against mr. bruce, fine. If not, STFU. He has built many cars and motors, unlike the majority here.

First of all, you were the first "know it all" to stick your two cents in by rudely commenting on my friend's big power small block. Instead of assuming you know it all, and coming of that way, maybe you could have politely asked what his combo was, before coming off like an asshat.

Second of all, I don't believe that anyone here, including myself, was knocking anything that Mr.Bruce does. We are all well aware of his awesome talents and despite sometimes posting brand X vehicles, I think we all look forward to seeing his creations.

There's nothing wrong with questioning a little history that just doesn't make sense. People have done it for decades. We STILL do it when it comes to certain things about Cobras.

Also, I am not sure why you felt the need to personally attack me, but if it makes you feel like more of a man, then I guess you can congradulate yourself.
