OK Guy's...Here's my .02! I was a FORD Tech for almost 27 years as of last December,I am now a tech for GM. The FORD store I worked for closed it's door's at the end of the year,as we all know,FORD is having some issues right now...Rumor has it that there will be approx 40 FORD stores closing in California by the end of the year! That's not counting the 6/8 or so that have already closed in So Cal. 6 of those ones that will be closing will also be in So Cal.......Anwyay as an owner of many boats in the past and MANY, MANY cars in my life...Here is the bottom line...as far as "what is best", well regardless of what you spend or what you build or how easy it is to build..or even how cheap and easy it is to build...The bottom line is...THEY ALL BREAK! Some sooner,Some later! So as far as "what is best",in my opinion it is just personal preference! I am a dedicated Ford Guy and have been all my life,if you would have asked me this question 10 years ago,I would have put down Chevy big time...like...you know... real men dont wear bow ties!,but then you have the Chevy guy's sayin' Found On Road Dead!..But look as I said earlier...THAY ALL BREAK! So pick what ya want and ROLL WITH IT! Enjoy what ya got and don't make fun of the next guy! As Rodney King said..."Can't we all just get along"!!!   LMAO! Anyway,just my.02!                                                              Tracy

Amen Brother

I tow my boat (see signature) with a Chevy Suburban.

I picked Ford for the boat because thats all I had ever rebuilt a a teen.  Figured go with what you know.  I would probably pick a 454 if I was to do another boat for no other reason than price and availability of aftermarket parts.  Until then though I am determined to make this Ford go faster and faster

Typical...Chevy towing the ford! 

I got a ford and a chevy, but born and raised chevy...i stick with what i know...

The way i see it, and how i refer it is like dirtbikes (my other hobby) what color do you like

Ok...I like red...what does that say??  lol 

429....you were AT THE RIVER today???   You suck!!!! I was werkin' !!!     

werent mopar blocks painted red for a time?

well i guess that answers that

werent mopar blocks painted red for a time?

Yea, in the 60's. 225 Slant 6's, 273's and 318 polys (plus the 1960 golden commados and the 1970 340's). Really not that common though, the Oranges and the Blues were the mainstays.

In 1961 *every* engine was silver except the 300 with the long rams, those got red. The 55-56 241-260-270's also were silver.

Korean War cars 1951-1953 some engines were painted flat light gray non-aluminum paint due to sortage of silver pigment.
 

WOW!    Where has this thread gone? ?
