Ford 272 C.I. runs low 11's. Why do Mopar guys need 408's?

How come Ford guys can run with small cubic inches? Fox body 302's, 289 Falcons, or even a 272 ?? Us mopar guys need 360's or 408's. In some cases 512 BB's !!!! :eek:



:lol:

The real question is, why can’t it be done with a 318 or 273?

Probably because not only is the “Bigger is better” saying so prevalent but you have dozens of members dumb crap like;

Why bother!
I would never!
Boat anchor engine
Strictly a passenger engine
Turd engine
You HAVE to spin it to the MOON for it to MAKE POWER!
Waste of money - time - effort

And much much more….
