Yeah, did you also notice when they stop the filming after the Chevy blew the FORD motor was still going. It's funny the host claims he is a chevy guy but he predicts a 1:14 time on the Chevy. Sounds like he is not to confident in chevy. Too Funny.

Interesting how when the chevy blew and since they both were connected to the same radiator, it drained all the coolant. So with this in mind, the Ford ran without any coolant and probably would have gone a lot longer if it were not for the chevy dumping the radiator.

100% of the time the chevy was running, it was getting coolant.

75% of the time the Ford was running it was not getting coolant.

I only wonder which V8's they used for this demo. 350 vs. 351 or 302 vs 305? Would be interesting to know a little more about each motor. Either way, I'm still happy with the results!

it's too damn bad they didn't have a 4v cleveland in there and see how many RPM's and how long that would run.

i don't know about that one, there are to many variables. now i'm not bashing ford but i owned a few chevrolet's and most were pretty tough. no one know's the size of them or where they came from. it was prolly wore slap out from the get go. i would like to see two fresh closely built motor go through the same thing just for fairness

No Ford F Series Truck EVER offered a 351 Cleveland engine. NONE. Only the 351M and 400 were used 1977-82.

I don't think anyone in this post ever mentioned a 351C coming from an F-Series. Now It was mentioned by JBradley500 to try a 4V 351C, this was just a motor suggestion, he never stated this came fom any F-Series. Also, the engines used were pulled from a junk yard, at least this is what the videos had me assume. Who knows some one could have installed a 351C in an F-Series at one time or another. Whether that was a good motor to install in those model year F-Series I could not tell you.

Pesonally, if i'd see someone blow a 351C 4V on purpose, I'd cry. The best small ford V8 IMO.

One thing, I can't tell you how many Chevy's I've seen that blew like that one. My guess it broke the cam in half. Everyone I have seen blow like that broke it. I have never had a Ford leave me on the side of the road, NEVER. But I can't say that about Chevy or GMs. I use to drive old F600-F700 drill trucks across Nevada,in the 70s, that never got serviced except when they came to the shop ever few years. NOT ONCE did a Ford quit or leave me stuck. Some of these truck wouldn't go over 40 mph. 300 miles is a long ways at 40mph.
I was born with "BLUE OVAL BLOOD FOREVER" When the doctors ask my blood type I tell them Blue.
