(Mushy - the truth of the matter is if you want to register your car in NSW - the best option by far is a LS series motor, but these old guys just dont get it. Something about blind loyalty, not seeing the woods for the trees etc etc.) |
We all enjoy winding each other up over engine choices. We laugh at their boat anchors and they sneer at our recycled beer cans.
Wouldn't have it any other way :p Cheers |

Beer cans would be OK Mike, but they make em out of recycled baby formula cans....

46 years ago the Chev people told Carroll Shelby, "No thank you" to putting a Chev engine into his car. I am glad they did, for with the Chev engine in Shelby's
little car, it would never have reach the heights of acclaim the 'COBRA' did with a FORD, hence the rich racing history. (Cobra 1st, Ferrari 2nd and Chev didn't even get a mention) After all, there is nothing of interest from the Chev range to fit a Ford engine into. So the bickering will go on. |

Very Funny Mike.
Hello Mushy, I am in the Penrith area and have a Ford in mine. Also it runs and drives, I keep hearing about all these chevys but not often do you see them run. Phil |

Actually I think it's easier to change the plugs on a Boss than an LS1. DOHC means the plugs are right there on the top of the heads between the cams. In my opinion the Modular motor could have been a truly great piece if Ford hadn't had front wheel drive applications as part of the design brief. This necesitated a motor that was short lengthwise to fit across the chassis. This is why it was designed with such tight bore spacings and can't be built into a decent size under square engine. The heads have huge potential but the block design lets them down for naturally aspirated combinations. I think everyone including Ford have realised forced induction is the only way to make big power with the modular motor. Cheers |

Hey thats your opinion, Blind loyalty has nothing to do with it, a lot of people would say that its not the best option, its by far the cheaper option, All I say is each to their own, you go with what you like, but if I was to build a corvette I sure wouldn't put a ford engine in it because I like ford, like the guys say where only having a dig and a bit of a laugh but you always have to bite rocca, tzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz another good catch for the week :p Hey Mike that actually works I lost 13 kilo's after a diet for a month , dropped .5 sec in the 1/4 mile Ran an 11.57 at 192 mph on friday night |
Pete - you take my comments far to seriously I think. :)
Ill let you in on a secret - Ive never owned a ford, Ive never owned a holden. (Supported both Moffat and Brock at times when I was a little fella.) Have no loyalty to either make. Cant fit a boss in a CR, and Iemma or Scully or whoever makes the decisions wont let me use anything else - so the decision is a no brainer. If the LS engines were made by Ford, thats what I would use - If the boss was made by holden, I still wouldnt use it cos it wont fit. I would happily put a ford in mine if they made a viable option for me. Its all pretty simple really, and If anyone want to be critical of using a chev in a cobra - then talk to the NSW government. Hard to be critical of those just abiding by the rules. :) |
