Post by: Warlock on February 16, 2007, 12:24:58 PM: Which is the motor of choice for SoCalJetters? I'm guessing not the Merc... ;D

What kind of motor do you perfer?

By the way I run a Hardin Marine Factory Hi Performance 429. With a tunnel ram and dual Holly 750's.
With 10.24/1 compression.

I am kinda on the fence with this one....I know chevy seems to be the favored motor for jetters, but I lean a bit more towards ford because i am bias.

I have Ford roots in my family tree. I am related to Don Sullivan aka Sully. Heres a neat article about him....

http://thehotrodsofdearborn.com/sully.html

The short story is that he was one of the head engineers apointed by Henry Ford to develop the first V8 and he was the one who originally designed the V8 logo. He was a major contributor to Ford for many years.
