^^^ what ive been trying to say

stykthyn · Dec 27, 2010

I wish I had gone 275. American muscle refused to mount them on a 10.5 rim and I would have lost the free mount/balance offer. The 315s look good, but it was a lot of effort to stuff them under the car.

I'll have an LS swap fox some day. Mostly to piss people off, oh and gear banger.

Hey, Shaolin Crane....One of my oldest buddies and I have always joked about finding a really clean 69 camaro and dropping a BBF in it just to piss people off! LOL.....don't think I could do it to a fox though....

I was, maybe still am, but he's undecided about it, I would love to get it though, cause the truck is running low 12's all motor, maybe high 10's. But I kinda want to build a motor,,,

I know it's really easy to make an butt load of power with 'em....it's a really good engine. I've listened to so many chevy guys bash fords that I just love kickin that azz with a ford engine. Man it kills em. Got nothin against chevys (well, not a whole lot...), I just love to biotch slap the haters!

460? Thats a heavy motor that can make the same power as a good 427w

Meh, ultra brand loyalty is stupid. I got a TT 383 in our boat that i'd LOVE to stuff in a 68 Camaro.

Man, that's small potatoes.... check this one out. Almost 1000 n/a and tromps the blown 427w. Wish I had one, don't give a rip how heavy it is....that is brutal!

Well, Me and my Dad have came to the conclusion that Big Blocks add a whole lot of weight, and you are just as better off if you have a small block.

1bad67sbf · Jan 1, 2011

a big stroked BBF is not always a good choice, just sounds to me like a better idea than a chevy motor. i also would run a sbf due to to many PITA's from a BBF in a fox.

Yup. They are heavy. And smallblocks do fit better.......true,true.

an LS motor is much lighter than a sbf, like i said no hesitation, if i could get an LS engine to work properly with my MM k member i would.

Thats not going to handle the same, not even close.

stykthyn · Jan 3, 2011

Never sad they would handle the same.

stangboy13 · Jan 8, 2011

Well, My car is an 85, and i knew it I just didn't say anything because i know 85 and 86 were the same. It was just a typo. But I feel stupid for asking this, but I need help with putting my back seat in. I think there is something missing. Can anyone post pics of there back seats and help me?

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?
