302 Rebuild

[Philm]

Tomcat, love your passion.

Power to weight is what its all about.

An Ls engine is like buying wine in a box. Yes it is cheaper per litre, its packaging is light weight, no need for a cork screw, it may even taste like wine.
A windsor is like a bottle of Penfolds Grange, rediculously expensive, comes in a heavy glass bottle, care must be taken with its storage, the cork must be carefully removed. The Taste will be rewarding and in your memory forever.

Now if you were offered a glass of each which one will you take??

what ,getting under your skin there gav, i never said i cant be beaten just never have been to date by a street regoed ls chev

i stand by all my statements, i dont make buls##t remarks which you have to do to justify your choice of engine

you obviously dont like being taken to task, most holden blokes dont, they are too busy believing there own buls##t.

my offer still stands, put your natuarlly aspirated ls down the strip with it all tuned and cammed up and show us your time slip, thats when the bulls##t stops

no lets talk about how many of those piston slapping, oil burning, ls engines that holden had to rebuild from virtually new, and tried to cover up, hundreds at least if not more than a thousand, the mackay holden dealers workshop was full of them. and the holden captiva, the most recalled car in australian motoring history, if not the world, quality there son, go better, in yer dreams

Apples with apples.... an unopened fuel injected 5.0 windsor will run forever.... just possibly like a post VT LS engine.... And just like the LS coming along in 1998 and being a superior standard engine to modify, the Coyote has now graced us with her presence and looks set to take over the title.....

kindling provided.....

Oh forgot to add....

Engine failure was caused by a 16 year old flawed head design. I knew they were suspect but i ran the risk and paid the price because I was too tight to spend the money on new heads when i built my engine...... Aaahhhhhh the painful lessons we learn....

Those Coyotes are awesome, I just want to see one running in a Cobra before we all get too excited.

I was browsing Just Cars mag last night.
Tell me Ford lovers, why is it Ok for the majority of Ford rods to be fitted with a Chev, yet you guys get all excited about using LS engines in a kit car?

Ben

[Philm]

cheap wine Ben.

The chevy small block has always had good support from the aftermarket producers compared to the ford Windsor. Cost would have had a lot to do with it.

I am sure every Hotrodder would prefer to fit a Flathead, Hemi or a Y block ford over any SBF or SBC, but a simple cheap option is the 350 chev, TH 350 and a 10 bolt diff. These rods are pretty ho hum in my book.

Before the Billet age, a Windsor alternator bracket was impossible to get however for SBC there were 5 different options.

So like everything these days it comes down to cost.

I always chuckle with the "Bang for Buck" and "dollar per HP" comments surely the descision to build or own a cobra is a bad financial decision in the first place!!!

Love your passion Tomcat, you have to support a team if you want to play.

Love it Phil.

But Fords still suck

[Philm]

Yeah, you get that Andrew when you run at the top of the pack. We will see what happens when the LS engines catch up.
