Hey Mike doesn't need any extra motivation. He is already telling me to run race gas and raise the compression. I am trying to keep this fair.

That's a given. You'll step down three sizes on the head gasket, might as well deck the heads a bit...

Fords & Pump gas are for the tow vehicle. Nothing like the smell of race fuel in the morning, 14.5 comp & VP 14+ FTW

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

The arguments and statements put forth here are hilarious....

We all know that motors are purpose built. It's very difficult to have big numbers and street ability... from the same engine. Everyone knows that cubic inches make great torque numbers... but cubic inches usually weigh more...

Seriously - these arguments have been going on since the beginning of motors. I wouldn't want to race against a small cube high winding F1 engine... I think they'd beat me. I wouldn't want to drive it in traffic though.

I love the torquey big inch - small Dart 180 head - wide LSA cammed motor in my heavy Nomad...

I love the big inch small block Ford that's in the Mustang.... COMPLETELY different uses! Completely different "reliability" (Ford is already broken!)...

My point is I love them BOTH! But for different reasons....

If you want to build a disappointing - EXPENSIVE engine... build a Mopar.

I don't think you'll get one argument on that ^^

This poll and discussion is more about the man vs the motor.

Nice dig on the Mopars.
