So my neighbors building a hardcore engine

I was doing some comparing between the Turus and the mustang for a possible rack and pinion swap and I saw the ups guy dropping off a bunch of stuff for them. I started to get back to work when I saw that the boxes had procomp electronics on them.... He came over about half an hour later saying his new sb chevy motor is gonna stomp the crap out of my sb Cleveland. THEN he started boasting about his procomp parts.... It took all I had not to bust out laughing and rolling on the ground. So now were gonna have a race when both cars are ready to rock

I feel sorry for the guy, he's going to put all that money into a motor and it wont run for crap.

Speaking of pro comp have you checked out their website lately? They have 4 bolt main windsor blocks now.

That's a frightening thought!
I normally would but I warned him about procomp. He said his research showed that procomp was te best. He then said that why ford procomp parts suck is because ford sucks. I do not feel any pitty for him

If that's the case then I don't feel sorry, frickin moron's going to understand after he gets stomped and blows his wal-mart motor in the process. Gonna run like a stock motor, but weaker and more expensive.

I bet his idea of "research" is calling up procomp's tech support and asking how good they are.

Hahaha yea probably. My clevelands got bigger fish to fry but this should be an ok warmup
Not like it's a stroker or anything or a solid roller cam or nothing special like that......

What he don't know WILL hurt him!! He need to get used to looking at your tail lights.

Bill

He's probably going to need a telescope to see them. Or atleast some binoculars

When you finally race, I want to see a video of it. Gonna have a good laugh at that one, tell him he can take on my 466 too. I wonder if there is a way where you can choose who you want to race at the dragway. I would really like that, I would race my brother or dad. Can you do that in a grudge race?

So..... what will your excuse be if he whoops your ass in that race.... if it ever happens? Even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut.

If I loose I'm going to shake his hand and say he's the luckiest procomp owner in history.
I plan on taping all my runs to help dial in the car better. I have anther guy that says windsors trump all he's next on the list

Go get'em Tiger !!

Thanks!
Next up is going to be the BBC guy down the road from me. He runs 10.90's so he's gonna be harder to beat.

I got nothing against the Cleveland based engines, but one shouldn't be so fast to sell the Windsor based engines so short. I've seen dyno sheets from a 460" Windsor build, that put out 850 HP @ the crank. No specs on the build, but in my book, that ain't no slouch.
