Why do I need a big block?

[Dangerous Doug]

I get the "it's only a small block" and my car is a 289 FIA... and usually by people that pulled up in an 80's "vintage" Tercel.

...most of the time, though, people are pretty thrilled just to see my Cobra.

Yeah, it's cool to see a BBF in a 427 and a SBF in a 289 FIA or slabside, but really, it all comes down to what turns your crank (or blows your skirt up, if you happen to be a chick...).

I am a bit appalled by this thread. Here's a guy that got some impressive numbers out of his engine and he's sharing the fun. It quickly digressed into a comparison of penis sizes (though metaphorically, but clearly...).

Clearly, he doesn't need a BBF. He's thrilled with his engine. Let the guy enjoy it.

I wish the OP well. I don't care what engine he has in his Cobra. We all like different flavors of ice cream and we live in a free country. BUT, the OP titled the thread "Why do I need a big block?" and flaunted his awesome SBF power numbers. This obviously upset a few FE fans, notably Patrick. The OP apologized and the thread should close, we just need Evan (aka Thread Killer) to close it for us.

Evan would have to check his manual. Only problem with that is you can't get a manual with a CSX car....

OMG, you mean all the CSXs are automatics?

Patrick, that knowledgeable kid U are referring to will have discontent well prior to peaking under your hood. He will see your second roll bar, and that fiberglass body, and he will say to his buddies “guys it’s only a kit, lets find a real one” Get off your high horse.

First off, the guy got some impressive numbers from his SB. Very cool! 2nd... It's a Live subject. Can't open that can without a few heads Perkin up
