This motor weights around 630 pounds and puts out about 730 hp the the wheels, what is so impressive about that, my 427 sbf stroker makes 515 wheel hp and weights under 400 pounds, you do the math, its the same output, just supercharge a small motor, all the power, no weight, for an engine competition cool, for street more of a conversation piece

It was a joke sweetheart. A joke. Geeez. And I'm so glad your trans pack costs more than my little inexpensive Factory Five. And you own a Kirkham too. Wow, I'm really impressed.

Here is my original post, nowhere does it say this is'nt a cool motor, nowhere does it say the gentleman who owns it cannot build engines, it clearly states I think more power can be had for a much cheaper price, example with my small block, the engine weights 400 pds with 515 hp thats 115 difference, the cammer is 630 pds and has 730whp, thats 110, see its not saying the cammer sucks anywhere, its just an opinion, so how did my story get so changed around, I wonder.

But you're also inferring or saying that the SOHC engine "for street is a conversation piece." It can't corner because it weighs too much and it can't get down the 1/4 mile strip fast enough.
Do you know that Jay Brown, from the FE Forum, has a 1964 Ford Galaxie, which won Drag Week 2009 with a NA 585" SOHC (9.50s @ 143). And I'm sure he's posted better numbers more recently, but I can't access that fast enough.
A Galaxie! Oops, I forgot, you're counting money. It's an awesome engine and think nearly everyone here on Club Cobra would want one, maybe two.
