well both of those went boom...

The last few times I have seen the bottom end of a ford engine I was not all that impressed..

But he did go pretty quick until the rod droped out...

I'll have to remember that one...lol

I have seen the bottom end of a few ford engines... The old 302 and 351'* seemed alright to me...

I was supprised the first time I saw a 3800 Rod... Even the stock chevy rods seemed to have more meat to them than the for rods...

Saw a 4.0 twice, both had blown up... The bottom end looked like a 3.0 bottom end... Both were 60* V6'*... I couldn't believe that the rods were that skinny in a Truck engine...

wheel hp is slightly different than crank hp (the 88 made 262 at the crank). just suck it up and admit that v8 mustangs are worthwhile cars...
I'll agree, I do like V8 'stangs. I just love the exhaust note on some of them. Hell, that could have been a Camaro pushing 600ish horses on a stock bottom end, he could have dropped a rod too. Just cause one or two guys don't know how to correctly modifiy their engines without destroying them, doesn't mean all V8'* made by Ford sucks. I don't mean to be a party pooper or anything, it was funny so see that guys face when he figured out his car is dead.

And Auroradude, get a better attitude before you get the boot.

Even tho it was a Ford Cobra, its rear end couldve handled the power, just the moron didnt compensate on the engine for the */C.
