Default Ford Motor Poll (SBF & BBF)

olddog's suggestion makes sense, let's try this one more time
I promise I won't do this again

Only owners of 427 Cobras with Ford motors should vote.

It's not called beige anymore, it's called 3M 240 Grit.
BTW, where is he?
Do you think he's masquerading as a CC ne'er do well?

I agree with Brent. If I didn't have a big block, I'd rather have a small block rather than have nothing at all.

So, what's the over/under on BBF owners who would rather have a SBF?

Currently sits at 0.

This is "seat of the pants" type excitement. The sequel may be a let down.

Uhhh, it looks like everybody that has a BB is happy and everyone that does not is sad. Some of the sad voters, though, are voting as if they were happy. I guess that's what you meant by "seat of the pants" type excrement?

Alright, now that was funny.

As a nation, we're having much difficulty figuring out the most humane method to execute our worst criminals. Capital punishment. I can safely say that the proliferation of CC polls is NOT one of those humane methods.

I have a small block ford and would make changes, but still keep a small block ford. Why is that not an option?

This is the most failed poll in the past year.

As this is a "ford block" poll, you can ASSume that "wouldn't change anything" = sticking with the same block.

The most telling aspect of the poll is that there are votes for every category except the "I have a BB but want a SB" category.

True patrickt, 4 hours into the poll you would be correct.
Keep in mind, the option to destroke a BB to make it more like a SB still keeps you in the BBF category, ring a bell?
Same goes for stroking a SB to 427, you're still in the SB category.

I was waiting for it....seems to be the common denominator to all your posts and polls. I would consider that trolling.

But I don't want the same block that I currently have.

And my block, as well as your block, aren't technically FORD blocks. So where do we fit in anyway?
