Believe it or not, I have a cat that occasionally barks. I swear it's a dog trapped in a cat's body. She is also trained. So far, on demand, it will speak, lay down, fetch, and stand up. I need to get a video of it.

I am out there with you man. I am a chevy guy that just happened to fall into a great deal with a mustang. as far as Pinks goes. its a race car. who cares what it is in it as long as it goes fast.he's just in it to flatfoot the loud pedal. not like it was a show car or anything.blackened88lx said:I think one of the main reasons you see small block chevy engines in fox drag cars is because that's what's cheap, effective, and what the person had. Say you're building a drag car, and come across a roller notch, which being light, would make an excellent drag car. Sure, you could hunt down a Ford shortblock and split it in half at 500hp, or put out big money for a dart block. Or, you could just drop in the sbc and have a fast cheap car. I'm kind of a Chevy guy that loves Mustangs. I say, fox=perfect platform, chevy=best powerplants.

You can make more power then you can handle with a ford motor. The sbc's main better feature in design is jus the fact that the blocks are stronger. I never liked the idea of the valve arrangement on a sbc. I think the 5.0 engines sound bettter also. How much cheaper is a sbc really? I doubt its all that much. Im also a fan of the eec 4 system and the layout of the windsor engine. Call me a fuel inj lover so to speak. Just count me as a ford guy and a believer that ford engines belong in ford cars and chevy engines belong in chevy cars.
It's not cheaper when you're running an ls1, but if it's an old school carbed sbc, it's a lot cheaper. You can make 400rwhp easily with a n/a sbc.2000xp8 said:It's not cheaper, i just think they chevy guys are tired of having their asses whooped by light underpowered cars.
So they take their 350's out of their mullet mobiles and drop them in a light chasis like the fox.
Only one i've seen that was ok IMO was that ls1 fox, although i'm sure it wasn't all that cheap.
parts are definantly cheaper. just look at summit
