I have noticed more at Milan than anywhere that several people are running Chevy motors in there mustangs!? Why wouold someone do that? There are so many choices out there for ford guys who run ford power. We dominate all classes from HNRA pro classes, open comp's, Nmra, Nmca, Import challange, Fun Ford, All 10.5 and 10.5 W classes, american iron, Nasa and many more. Its simple mustangs rule and all others just are wanna be stang bangers. Love us or hate us but you know the truth. Fordever........ Cent- blowers, turbos, are both revolutions of the mustang crowd and the Chevy guys are come around lately types. I can put dates numbers ect if need be for any argument. Even a 13 second mustang is better than a 10 second boat chevy car. Also mustangs are holding more records now than ever. The original race car from 64' to 08 we run the big show, so thats it schools out.
Well kids, this is the kind of close minded thinking that comes from inbreeding. LOL just couse your cousin is hot dosen't make it ok!!
In all seriousness its just one persons preferance to another. bud light or miller lite, red or blue, blonde or brunette or red head or black hair, apples or oranges. get over it because it just don't matter.
Im a Ford guy.but I would not put a ford motor in a chevy.If you like chevy's cant you find a chevy body to put it into? It would seem to me that both sides would be against you.
thats right !! even my 71 pinto is big block chevy powered !! which proves the fact that...it doesnt matter !!! how many ford guys run a powerglide... alot !
Listen there kid. You are not allowed chevy junk in any ford race car in anyway shape or form period in the NMRA or FUN Ford class. And no Milan's drag radial class is not the real deal or is the all motor class. Its good practice for heads up racing but not pro style racing. A lot of the guys run in these classes at Milan for fun or becuse they cannot compete on The NMRA or Fun Ford levels of comp. Now schools out make me a report on this or Ill give you an F for the day.
my 71 pinto is big block chevy powered, which means it does not matter what you use, as long as it works for you. by the way, how many fords out there run powerglide transmissions?...alot !

Someones Previous Quote: "not any more John Force is running a ford motor this year"
well,like they say,"if ya can't beat 'em join em"! Still a Hemi,why can't Ford/Force just accecpt it?
A Puffs is 'kleenex' but a Kleenex isn't a Puffs. Similar product different maker.
Force's version of a top fuel engine just happens to be mandated BY NHRA RULE to be architecturally similar to the original Chrysler Hemi.
To call Force's engine a "Ford" engine is more than a little stretch IMO. It would be more correct to say that it is a custom cast top fuel engine based on the Chrysler 426 Hemi architecture, as are all top fuel engines.
Chrysler was the first to design a successful V8 race engine based around the Hemi head design. When Chrysler introduced the 426 Race Hemi engine at the 1964 Daytona 500 the entire performance world was put on notice. Everyone scrambled to come up with something competitive and nobody managed until they basically copied Chryslers design idea in using a Hemi head on their performance engines. Engines like the Ford SOHC 427, the Ford BOSS 429, and the various GM based engines with aftermarket Hemi heads were all built in direct response to the 426 Hemi. Some of these efforts were somewhat successful, others were not. The bottom line was that they were all playing a game of catch up and were trying to beat Chrysler at their own game. To date I don't see that any of them really accomplished that, the Chrysler based Hemi engine still sits on top of nearly every extreme racing class that they are allowed to compete in. IMO it's a great example of mimicry being the highest form of flattery.
I run a Ford Falcon gasser with Ford power and thats my choice, I run an Bantam Altered with a Pontiac 400 and thats my choice. I have had people come up and tell me you should run a Chevy you will go faster and you know there right, I can build one cheaper and the choices for parts are endless, and they are a great engine big block or small block. But there is a place where you should run a Ford in a Ford and a Chevy in a Chevy, Chrysler in a Chrysler, but when it comes right down to it its your choice on how you power your car and cool is cool. I like everything, and I like what I have. I run at nostalgia events and see cars that are Fords with Chevy power in it and thats cool because that was common back in the day. If you like what you have and it runs how you want it to ( but we would all like to run faster ) enjoy it, and as far as brand wars its great that why there is so much diversity in drag racing.
anymore all cars can run it doesn't matter the Brand. I know of at least Two Toyota Celicas RWD (late 70's) with 2JZ's Street Driven TURBOS that will skunk Plenty of Domestic Cars including My Nova So get over the FORD is Best Thing its Just Narrow Minded.
When i was building my t-bird i did it before the aje kits came out for the fox body k members to chevy motor mounts, i went 351 w with cleveland heads was a nice set up,but pricey, but its like someone else said chevy had a ton more set ups for the way you want to do it and at a lower cost when your finished building the engine. I love ford body styles but i think most of these engines are crap, and dont hold up and are very pricey to build like fe series ford engines, i can find 454 chevy all day long at a cheaper price i can do a few things to a big block chevy and get low et's, or stick big money in ford 302, 427 428 to do the same thing at more of a cost to do, its a no brainer. small headed 302 and 351w cant match the power of a 396 427 or 454 for the money.
351c is nice the heads are the best part but the blocks break easy. Chevy are easy and cheap and hold up thats the name of the game. Im not a ford basher I look at what takes abuse and what breaks and i find it more on a ford than i ever have found on any chevy product, i speak from experiance had 5 or 6 chevy astro vans for a delivery business i owned for 14 yrs. everyone went 300k and was still running and driving down the road, cant say that about just about all so called good fords out there! Ive seen these vans with the cable companies and electric co. have 500k or better. If i had to do it over again it would have been chevy all the way period. Hey are we in a recession? or had the message board gone to crap. Did everyone spend all there money at pinks last year as well? So i guess no ones building any cars or racing this year correct? If the milan message board is any indacation of what this years going to be like, it isnt too bright. Sorry to get off subject but i had to say something about it. Just an opinion
Ok, lesson two for all of you chevy people out there and Im sure there are many many many of you. Get on the cheap and buy some Cheap chevy car to put your cheap chevy parts into. Next, How come everytime im out and see some street race its a ricer ie' honda, toyota, or some other import smoking a chevy product on the street? As we all know ricers have found some heart for the ford mustang guys as we are all high tech people. Not carb, power glide, rusty fenders, guted interior and a can of beer hill billy chevy guys. So far from reading your reports most of you are getting D's and F's on your mustang report cards!! Detention will be next if there is any more out burts!!! For your next assigenment I want you to go shake the hand of the true drag racer, the mustang man and women. Ask them about there high tech set up. Next Quit blowing your stuff up and oiling down the track at Milan!! How many times have I had to wait for chevy guts to be cleaned up!! Next Billy glidden was testing a pro stock as of recent, but if he does not race then you are all grounded from watching ESPN!!!! Now since spring is almost here and you hill billy chevy guys should be coming out of your beer and deer meat induced slumber its time to sell your junk and buy a mustang!! This is your Instructor ordering you to read as many stang mags as you can, then you may start to figure out why fords are always first on race day. After reading your reports to me you must show up on opening day with good cheer and watch the tail lights from that FORD run away from your stalled chevy. Schoolis out for now kids. O one more important safety tip, Clean up those beer cans, food wrapers,shells, tons of oil and tranny fluid bottles, old socks, red neck hats, parts that you had to pick up after they fell of your chevy while driving down the road and most of all remeber you cant make 200 passes on one set of drag radials unless you drive a chevy cause there so slow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now you may respond and remeber you will be graded so ford up.

WTF?!?!
March 10 2008, 4:03 PM
As I said before, inbreading is wrong fordboy. How come every guy who thinks fords or mustangs are the best thing on the planet on this post won't put there name with it so we all know who has been doing to many drugs or hasn't graduated elementry school? Are there really this many retarded idiots out there? Its a safe bet that these mentally handicaped people aren't regular racers at Milan Dragway and are to affraid to show up on a Sunday and race.
Matt Luttrell
The rest of your rambling was incoherent, miss-spelled ignorance that only a fifth grade education and a penchant for small farm animals,could muster.That, coupled with the fact that you used a phony e-mail address, tells me you are probably a 7th grader with access to your neighbors( you know, the rich ones who don't have wheels on their house still)'s computer.Now back to your trailer before someone figures out who you are, and gives you an old fashioned butt whooping.You are on the wrong websight. People here don't care what it is you have. as long as it's FAST.Schools out....
OK, those of you who have stumbled out out of your winter dear meat and beer induced hibernation chevy guys haved all recieved F's for your report cards! After school ford detention is mandated for you. Ok, chevy kids todays lesson will be as follows. 1) read ford mags 2) you are grounded from your garage until you place a 5.0 stang in it 3) NO use of foul language on my web site 4) you will be placed on mandatory ford academic probation from ford school 5) you will ask permission to before you oil down the track and spill motor parts all over from your chevy! 6) No more driving past the staging beams like you have a SSO or Pro mustang 7) No more putting a SBC motor in your chevy boat and try an act out like your fast and finaly you will respect all ford authority at the track, which means you ask for autographs and pics of all mustangs!!. Ok, this is important. There is no need to have five guys running beside your chevy in the burnout box area and then all five lining your chevy up like your John Force or soemthing in the staging area. Also no more chevying around the staging area after your chevy makes a 20 second pass like you just won and NHRA top fuel event. Since I am the Dean of Ford school you will need to stop pushing your chevys down the Ford staging Lanes. Also stop yousing parachutes to slow down after that 22 second pass. Could you please pick up your transmission, motor, fenders, hoods and all other chevy parts that fly off during your time down the quater mile. Us Ford guys are tired of getting out of the groove becuse you chevy guys are oiling down the track. Ok, remember to graduate you will need to ford the quater mile or should I say fly down the quater mile.

Mustanger fordever Jackass. Congradulations on being the biggest retarded moron to ever post on this website. It obvious you have more time than common sense and shouldn't be allowed to breed. Someday you should get in your 4cyl rustang and drive to the racetrack and see what its really all about, cause right now its clear that you have no clue.
Matt Luttrell
P.S. Does anyone think this guy is just a bored Tom Kraft?
hey fordever im confused, i just come out of my deer meat eatin beer drinking hibernation and i still like fords. should i be racing a camaro instead of a mustang? sincerely,concerned ford man.
Ok, its final's time! Chevy guys put down those cans of beer and stash away that copy of your high school year book from 1980. Ok, also quit thinking your 1974 nova and the trips to the local bar for hot wings and beer is going to make you 21 years old again. Ok, here is the study guide for your final. 1) Study fuel injection and turbos. 2) study the 9 inch rear and how nice it looks under your chevy! 3) state why you put a chevy motor in a ford on the cheap. 4) Study a guide book to racing safety and state in a clear manner why muddy boots, cammo pants, a t_shirt, snow gloves, fire proof underware ( to cut down on the smell), and why 2X4's are not good for seat mounts and why PCV tubing does not make a good roll cage. Ok, also you need to type (not scrible on the back of a pizza box) why the "pro street" look went out of style in 1992 and why chevy guys are still pimppin' at the track with purple and yellow paint with lights under the car and wearing motor cycle helmets instead of the proper racing helmet. And please stop thinking truck roll bar lights are still in style. Ok, this is my final post here. Please keep in mind that as the dean of ford this final will help you understand while going down the track it is not a good idea to have hamburger wrapers and whiskey bottles flying around in your car and why it is not safe to breath all of that oil smoke coming through that HUGE rust hole that you have covered with layers of cardboard and tar is not safe. Over flow tank does not mean a 40 ounce beer can and fuel cell does not mean plastic bucket also nitrous bottle does not mean spare welding bottle. have fun chevy kids and for gods sake be safe out there. Enjoy your new Ford mustang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
