Ford 8.8 Swap
brand loyalty is blind loyalty
now thats a bunch of bullshit
I think its a great quote!
I used to hate gm (chevy really) because they were dirt common mostly, but they build the best pushrod motor ever these days and i have owned (own) plenty of them now. i have 40+ cars in my yard and they cover the big 3 plus amc. all of this from a kid that wanted a trans am, and became a mustang guy as a teen. my first muscle car purchase, a 1970 Duster, i couldn't afford a mach 1 lol. That was in 1987.
the cars out there and the parts on them all have positives and negatives, if newer technoilogy exists thats better and cheaper than old its a no brainer. not for the resto guys but perfect for the rest...
i have run 12 flat @ 113mph on a stock 130k mile 4 lug 28 spline 8.8 with slicks in a 3300lb car and never had an issue. Made about 60 passes in that car and towed a trailer 6000 miles as well. Sold it to a friend 3 years ago, still going strong. My 70 duster has a good 8 3/4 in it or it would get an 8.8, my 68 amx has a good amc 20 in it but is getting an 8.8 anyway because 1 piece axles for it would cost as much as the rear swap and i get discs to boot.
