They even fit in a classic Jag, but the Jag club has absolutely no sense of humor.

Don't forget the LS powered rocking chair -- the most important development of this century or any other.

As for the car, is it Bass or Bass?

Cool car. The name I'm not so sure about though. Actually, I am sure. I think it's dumb. Seriously, Bass? WTF?

There are better motors in the world than the LS, but the LS purists wouldn't replace their LS with one of 'em.


:tv_happy:

And a example of a better engine ?

Ok, most of you are waaayyy more savvy than me and have owned more hotrods than I could dream to, but you're telling me that the LS is the holy grail and Ford has not made a single modern engine that even comes close?

I get how easy and bulletproof they are. I have an LS project in the works myself but it is a Chevy. When I see nicely done Ford (usually pre-war, usually a really nice build) and they've dropped an LS in there (with all the bullsh!t plastic covers still on it) I think "that's a shame, you had a chance to do something here"...

I am not picking on GW here, his latest is super super nice. It could have a Briggs and Stratton and it wouldn't take away from it.


Jeff-

I see The Skippah has yet to defend his "there's something better than an LS" claim.... HA! Good luck with that one!

Roy and I did discuss the "Ford in a Ford".... only just because. However, the modern Fords are too wide for the little hot rod noses... and there just aren't a variety of parts so now you get into all manor of custom pieces - thus driving up the cost.

That left the option of doing "old skool" Ford -- such as a Roush -- but his motor prices are beyond ridiculous... AND I met a guy at L A Roadster show that had issues with his Roush - they wouldn't stand behind it - he had it torn down and it was nothing but a factory crate motor internally. So needless to say -- whether this was true or not (I believe it to be fact) I've had enough issues with '32 and wanted this build to be as trouble free as I could TRY to make it.

If Ford made a perfect engine they might make some money.

What makes the 5.0L Coyote and "not so perfect" engine?

Greg,

As you can see from the pic, I'm a happy, upbeat kinda guy; and these debates often aren't internet friendly, so I'd rather discuss it in person.

That way we can always hug it out if the discussion ends badly.

:thankyou:
