It's a chevy vs ford thing with me. I don't care about toyotas, nissan, kia, hell, even a hugo. I grew up ford/lincoln/mercury. I had friends then and now that are chevy guys. They are all like 'you gotta put a chevy in it to make it faster' BS. 98% is all in fun, then there are the 2% that you want to punch in the mouth but they are mostly just poor sports. And yes there are one or two (may be more?) ford guys I would punch in the mouth but I don't hang with them.
model t and a cars got sbc engines put in them because #1 they where cheap, you could find them behind 2 otta 3 mailboxs, all the speed shops had shelves full of cheap (not cheap as in poorly made) sbc parts. Most speed part companies where started by chevy guys, Vic Edelbrock was probably the most famous.
And they made a bazillion a and t cars compared to chevys. And they were cheap to buy.
That is where (and most hotrodders know this) it came from.
You know that part.
I don't dislike chevys
I don't think ford is superior to chevy (I do think that but I also know that is personal preference)
once I see a ls swapped ford my brain clouds over and I don't care how shiny it is, not interested.
now you come in here and spout your shine up this, that wire is otta place that like your the omnipotent car builder and overall judge of car culture, that is just your personality, like some others here you are a perfectionist, your
is going to be right or it's going in the trash and you start again till it is. the difference between you and the other perfectionists here is you are not going to sugar coat it, you have been there, done that, witnessed what happens and you want to let others know. I
i'm not impressed with an ls swapped ford.
now a 2j will get my attention because it's different, not the norm, kinda like you.
I like you, you speak your mind, don't cut your ear off.
