waaaaatch it!
shut it
race?
Stay away from that dealer unless you, yourself, personally inspects the car and drives it. “Dr. Dave”, as he is known up here, Has screwed over many including a soldier in Iraq who thought he was buying his dream car. He came home to a barely running bondo buggy.
GTP…haha…fuck that car…just a decent DD for me that is somewhat quick. N/A power>FI power…fact is ford has a hard time building N/A motors that run strong…so they slap on a S/C.
Hey, whatever works, right? I think 400+ HP out of a 281 CI is pretty respectable. 500+ out of a 330 CI? Definitely working for them.
Don’t forget the 96-98, 99, 01 Cobra Motors, and 03/04 Mach Motors. All aluminum 4.6L 32V 320 HP. Ford could build a good N/A Engine if they needed to. (And the 5.0L Cammer that Ford makes as a crate… 420 HP N/A!)
look up the most powerful muscle car motor and let me know what it is?
ford has no problem with NA power and chose a better route in FI.
FI>NA
If ford builds these great N/A motor why does the LS1 hand every 99-02 GT & Cobras their ass
race my ford
OK
ok
the s351s were pretty bad @ss
Because Ford doesn’t jam the same motor in every car they make?
Just give it a few years.
GM is still producing dinosaur motors with pushrods. There will come a day when they cannot meet the requirements for emissions and such and will have to go a different direction. Ford saw this and made the switch 15 years ago and has a big head start. Just like the camaro, the new GM motors will be too little way too late.
I’ll have to disagree with you.
The type of valvetrain really does not have much effect on the emissions. It has more to do with cylinder design & cylinder head design. The electronics will do the job of making an engine emissions compliant.
Pushrod motors will be around for a long time. Not that I am siding with GM on this, either.
Boy! Oh Boy! Have you got that right. He gave me a screwing I’ll never forget. (partially my fault as well) I almost didn’t want to post this because I didn’t want to give that faggot any advertising, but it was an awsome ride, so I posted it.
So what’s this dude’s deal? He seemed cool when my parents and I went there to look at cars about 4 years ago…
the customers want pushrod engines. look how easy it is to do a head/cam swap on an ls1. plus, the power curve is badass, so why fix what isnt broke?
That’s fine for GM. I am glad ford made the switch to the new mod motors. Smaller CI, better mpg, and a lot more power.
And changing cams in a mod motor doesn’t look to hard, just take the valve covers off and there they are.
The small block GM motor is a great motor and probably will be for a few more years. But like everything, this will change.
I think 77 is right. Pushrods aren’t exactly new technology. Maybe not soon, but they will change some day.
