"I had planned on winning it and writing an article on "How I won a crate motor and gave it to a buddy in Kingsport, Tn."
Well I got dibs on Bill's 3000 GHP heads then. And No, the "G" is not a typo.
Seriously though, this is a great raffle prize for a buck a ticket raffle. There couldn't be a better engine for an Effie. A Windsor is still a girle motor. But it's kinda like one of those weight lifter chicks that's been taking those roids. You wanna smart off, but you know you'll get a whippin in front of your friends.

Is that 5.8 crate motor bigger physically that a 302? The reason I ask: At the nats I was looking under the hood of a 56 that had a 302, and she said, ahhh, isn't that itty-bitty motor cute.

If it is a 302 it is a 'girly' motor even it is blown and has 700hp. There is no question ever. Its is like a bra size below a certain number it is just a little girl. Not to be confused with a big girl.....Purple did I get it right.

Power output is not the issue. Supercharged, stroked, nitrous equipped 302 that runs a 7 second quarter. Purple's comment would be.........
Fairly snappy.... for a girlie motor.

Now the 351 Cleveland on the other hand. Thats a "macho" motor!
Oh, did I mention that I had one of those in my Mustang?
