well a 390 is a great motor, but its expensive to mod and make real fast. the 460 is a great platform for a motor, I wish you luck.

 

the 390's are scarce any more and ih8chevy is right that bbf's don't get much backing or advertisement as the bbc.
and while i am at it one thing that makes me sick to my stomach is the hybrid foxes runnin sbc's under the hood .if you want to build a sbc run it in a monza or vega or camaro or some **** like that not in a ford , and i feel they are played out in hot rods as well, nothin worse than looking at a beautiful 32 ford and seeing a bow tie engine in it , all just because you can get a cam from a vending machine at odd lots for 2.99 and it will ru ya for a min. i think absolutely sucks .
i feel if you are going to redo a specific vehicle make you should stick with their power plant jmo.

yea i know, everyone is tired of it.

 

sorry i had to let it out , you brought up the sponsor and backing thing and it just hit a nerve this morning . a guy i used to work with claimed he was a advid ford fanatic and now him and his brother are right now building a fox for wild street drag and the are useing a sbc in it i went and looked at the car , spit a big ole luggy on it got in my truck and went home , such a put down to ford and mustang totally !

 

no no ur right, we are all tired of this bull****. but it would require ford getting off its *** and starting to support hte bb world much more, then the sb world will follow.

 

yep so us die hards will just keep it going as we have for years so far .

 

thats what im going do. and when i get more money im going to buy a 69 chevelle and drop a bbf in it. I love them cars but always knew that the motor was wrong

 

i do know of a guy by my dads with a 79 z-280 bracket car runnin a 351w in it . he told my dad that he pisses the chevy guys off alot .

 

haha thats awesome, there was a guy who put a 351 cleveland in a 80 trans am and would beat up the chevy guys all the time and they would get real pissed. back in the day dandy dick landy put a big in hemi in a 63 vette, that got a lot of attention from the bowtie nuts especially when it won the all chevy show it was at.
