Id rather have 100, 5 dollar hookers, than one 500 dollar hooker, anytime. A hooker is a hooker.

Fordracing-

Why are you so confrontational? Every time you contribute to a topic, you seem to need to re-affirm how a modern small block trumps an FE. Guess what? We know. That really wasn't the point of the thread, and I'm sure you know that. This site has lacked a good confrontational poster for some time. Having been on this site for 10+ years, I applaud you for taking up the mantle of some legendary douche bags like Cracker and Sizzler. I truly mean that.

To reiterate, I built my FE because it's really cool. I probably have more money than brains. We all know a modern, forced induction, canted valve motor will kick a cammer's ass on cost, performance, and reliability. We know. And you know that we know. So your point is to stir up the old, tired debate. Congratulations. Why can't you celebrate the resurection of a legendary motor instead of telling us how superior your soulless, albeit cheaper small block is? You should be in Congress.

I miss Evan (Real One). He constantly "banged away" about CSX being the only REAL Cobra every chance he could get.

FR65's issue(s) is/are value and money.

I agree with him. The SOHC is overpriced in terms of $ per HP. Further, I can't believe some "butthead" paid $4,000,000 for a 4-cylinder at auction in May 2011. I mean, what the heck is the $ per HP there.

If you have money, then you don't fret a few extra dollars here or there.
