Your focussing on ford vs chevy to much bud. I love fords and have no doubt they can make hp and last. This isn't just about drag racing and stripped down fox bodys with autos.... doesn't take rocket science to make that fast in the 1320. Warhorse I know you got a nice chunk of change in your "simple" combo. Dart block canfield heads ect 8k or higher if you bought all new. You could easly spend they same cash on any brand x and go just as fast if not faster in the same car.
400+rwhp are the norm for any ls motor with simple mode. For a streetable easy going drive across the country motor. Im a all around kinda of person. I want to get in fire it up drive anywhere do anything and make power and even get good mpg. Fact is how many mustangs on this board make the same power for the same $? Shit I think ls motors make so much power because they copied ford with the equal spacing port heads. Newer technolgy means more hp and longevity.

fast and cool shit

true i have a lot more than 8k in my motor.. but that doesn't take from the fact that it is a 351w with a 20 over bore. 8.5 to 1 comp.. i can take my heads(old ass 205cc canfields) and intake drop them on any 351w and make close to the same power.. you don't need a billet sonny bryant crank or custom je piston good for 1400hp to make the power i am. i can get stock 351w bottom end and make close to the same power. honestly i'd make more. since it would bump up my comp. my motor will drive anywhere i want it to on 87 pump gas. now it won't get as good of gas milage. but it's a carbed car.. if i wanted i'm sure i could get a lot more out of it if i went to efi.. but i don't care.. the reason lsx make more power from the factory is simple.. they have more cubes and way bigger heads.. [patriot] and with the extras it takes to put a lsx in a ford you could easily get a set of heads and intake and make the same power as the lsx. [patriot] i'm not saying the lsx isn't a good motor or doesn't make power.. or for that matter isn't a good swap for a older chevy car.. and if your set on it.. then go for it.. in the end it's your car, so do what you want to it.. it will just be a sad day for your ford if you do..

You know exactly what im talkin about man.You cant honestly tell me that alot of LSX owners arent arrogant,cocky douchebags.You used to hate them.Youve listened to em run theyre mouths and look down on you because you had a modular car.Some LSX guys think theyre untouchable.
C'mon man!This isnt a personal attack on my friends who own LSX cars(you,Chad,Scott).Its the assholes ive met over the years.You know im right,you even know some of the asswipes im talkin about.And yes,from my mouth you heard LSX motors are better performers in STOCK form than the old modulars and Fords pushrod motors,everyone knows that.Its an unfortunate fact.Still dont want one though.To each his own i guess.

351-4v closed chamber heads bone stock will out flow most aftermarket aluminum heads. Like 300cfm at .600 on the intake and 180cfm on the exhaust at .600. Unfortunately Ford only made the Boss 351 one year which later became the 351HO for another year, but that engine was underrated at 330hp. The Boss 302 which had essentially the same heads made way more than the advertised 290hp. Here's some cool articles on how much power these engines with stock Cleveland heads really made.

Boss 351 vs LT1

Boss 302 vs z28

I'm one of the few open minded people on the board who have actually owned both. I've had a ton of pushrod Fords. I've had modular powered Fords. I've had multiple LS powered vehicles, one of them over 500hp with just bolt ons.

The fact is that both families have great engines capable of big power. Because of that, I don't see the point in spending the extra coin on the parts required to stick a brand X engine in a brand Y vehicle. I don't think a Chevy belongs in a Ford and I don't like seeing a Ford in a Chevy.

The reality is that a lot of people feel the same way and wouldn't share your enthusiasm for creating a crossbreed. In fact, you will devalue your car by doing so. You're creating a smaller market of potential buyers when you ultimately decide to sell the car.

Dave I some what agree I wouldn't spend a ton of coin to make a simple ls1 swap but if I came across somthing exotic I would swap it in. Coyote,ls7-9,ferrari lol

And yeah new factory motors are stout compared to old 302 and 351's plus the blocks and poor cyclinder head bolt placement.

Good im glad you finally make some hp. Maybe some more shit talking will actually motivate you to get your ass out there and work on your car. Instead of twiddling around with chin spoilers and fancy over flow bottles you should actually put a motor together. [Razz]
