sure they are. Granted you can't buy as much junk for the same money for a ford BUT you can make MORE hp with a Ford with less crap on it.


And how do I know? I worked for Chevy, and drove a Ford to work everyday. I also choose to race fords.

^^^^ couldn't be more true. I have had near stock 302s beat near stock 350s all day long.

My 351M has out ran 454s in similar setup pickups. It was fun dragging that chevy around backwards too
