Some of my old buddies back in HS always owned Mustangs and still do, we called them the “’Stang Gang”. They swear Ford stands for First On Race Day.

ANYBODY who knows cars, knows how notorious Mustangs were for rust. Mustang owners are grateful they only had 2 doors, because otherwise they WOULD have NEVER been able to live down Four Old Rusty Doors.

In the day, I was a die hard Chevy fan. Since then, though I still love and am somewhat partial to Corvettes and Camaros, I will say this. On race day, If you had a Hemi anything, primarily Challenger or Cuda, or you had a ZL1 or L88 or LS6/7, If the Ford guy showed up with a SOHC, you'd probably NOT want to go up against him.

429 Boss??? Yeah, sure. Then the Ford and Chevy and Dodge were on the same plane.

But that SOHC was just plane sick.

Can I build a Chevy BB to beat the SOHC? Sure I can. But it's going to take a pile of cash to do it. Of course the SOHC will take a pile of cash to do anything with.

I also know that If the owner of the Ford also put work into his motor, I'm going to have my work cut out.

When it comes down to it. When it comes to Ford, Chevy, Dodge. Whether BB or SB. Or even Boss or Hemi. It still came down to how the engine/car was built and then the driver. I don't think any one make is truly better than the other. It's really preference.

But that SOHC?

SICK!!!
