Chevys belong in Chevys. Trying to compare a 427 Ford to a late model anything is something you can not do. Go to the Ford FE website for some high power FEs. Come here next year and I will show you one! It still will not be as fast as your car but the 900 pound weight diff will have a lot to do with it. Plus your engine is far from stock unlike the 427 you are referring to.:)

If Chevy's belong in Chevy's then why are alot of ford guys putting Chevy LS motors in old coupes, low boys, Mustangs, etc etc etc ??? You never see the Chevy guys putting in ford FE motors in there old street rods.......so i`m not sure how you can say FE rules.......My SBC LS7 motor is not built but it does have a mild hydraulic roller cam on pump gas with 4 mufflers and old school carb and distributor 9.74@139 Now lets put my motor in a 1964 Ford Thunderbolt Tribute car that weighs a 1,000 pounds more.......that means it would go about 10.70`s right ??? So why are you only going 11.639 @ 117.20 with a stroked BBF motor ?? Now lets talk about the SBC LS9 motors in the ZR1`s.......stock there going 10.70`s with the ac on and getting 28 miles to the gallon........i`m thinking the LS motor rules and your way wrong...i just don`t know how you can say old technology FE motors rule ???
 
My 91 5.0 with gt40 ported upr lwer intakes but was a tremec 3550-5spd so lost time in shifting but had serious poted twisted wedge heads similar cam duration & 3.73 gear comp 11.1.. I was doing 10.2's on AVG. Tells us what you run. Atleast he doesnt have RICE Ford or not!!

Sooooo True!!

:2thumbs: They do Rule!! Would love to just pull my LS2 out of my GTO or put a LS6 with a nice head and cam package in my Marauder if I was savy enough.
 
LS motors = win.

Chevy engines in Ford bodies = not win.

It's not a question of performance, it's a question of brand loyalty essentially.

This kind of thing isn't exclusive to US cars though, you see it a lot with Honda, Toyota, and Nissan engines being exchanged in various Japanese vehicles and sometimes even non-Japanese vehicles.


To each their own really, HOWEVER coming to a Ford site then bashing Ford motors as being inferior to Chevy engines -> definitely not a good idea. :P

You crack me up trying to have a Ford Chevy pissing match on a Ford site! The T Bolt goes what shw is tuned for and is wau uner tired. If she goes much faster it needs more rule change money. Why don,t you try to take a car that is this old and heavy and make it fast? I know why because you have chosen to take the light and eay road. FEs rule as old technology. How many old school parts are you using? No comparison here dude.:)

And I'm thinking this is a useless thread.

How can we say old technology FE motors rule? In the words of Louis Armstong, "If you can't feel it, then I really can't 'splain it to you..."

The only reason people put chevy motors in fords tells me they can't build a ford motor to begin with.:help:

I will say it looks nice and you did a good job but your car looks like its stricley for the track and not a street car.

I had a white coupe similar to yours but with a stroked windsor to 392 inches, yates heads and a sigle plane intake and dominator carb, set up for spray: with a nitrous converter and nitrous gear with a glide it went 9.07@151 on the motor.
On the spray into the7's
stock style suspension looking like yours(just a track car).
so when I see chevy's in fords I just wounder why....must be money??
thats the only reason I can think of?

Either way its the owner choice.

I have a buddy that has a homebuilt 355 Chevy with 175shot on what used to be a 4 cylinder notchback. The car is amazingly quick. But he never opens the hood for anyone.
Btw car was put together with less than 5grand. That's the only way I would do that
I know that ls engines are not that cheap so I'm this case don't look like $ was an issue.
