Most on here wont find anything special about cross breading manufacturer componets. They are die hard fans of a paticular brand. What you have is either a bracket car or possably a 10.90 S/ST car or an over done street ride. Your choice. If you already built it then fine.....use it to your satisfaction. If you have not stated the project I suggest you do not. Its still your choice. As far as Chevy engines in a Ford.....I guess some would say it would cost less and stay together longer. I recieved your email and started to tell you off but thought you most likely really dont know what your doing so I have responded in the best way I can and how I fell about a car such as this. Have a nice day.

That still does not make up for the fact that you had to put your two cents in and contribute to shooting me down, that is not why i joined this forum. I strictly joined this forum so I could get advice and ideas from other racers, NOT to be shot down and humiliated. And for your information rayfin I am NOT dreaming i have an 89 cobra it IS set up for a sbc, AND that sbc IS being built for me as WE speak. So you can keep being jerks to me all you want thats fine. I will be the better person here and I will say nothing more, because I am not here to argue.

oh and i might wana add this too. i DID post this in the bracket portion of the forum NOT THE 10.90 INDEX FORUM. cant street cars bracket race? I thought that they could do that?

Guy at my former local track runs a Mustang with a SBC...he has done very well with the car including multiple class championships. As for street or drag...thats up to you. If you can make it run on pump gas it could be a fun street car...although I'm not a fan of street racing myself.

I see the problem.....He is 18 and cannot take a joke. Anyone who is a car lover knows there are those who are brand paticular. All I said was the ENGINE (a Chebbie) in a FORD would catch hives. B-F-D and he wants to call people a dick head and send piss poor Pvt emails . He needs to suck it up and grow up. I think it is great to build your own car at such a young age. Build it the way YOU want it but your going to catch a lot of grief from Ford people AND Chevy people for cross breeding the drive train. Face up to it. Good luck on your project.

yeah i think its bull**** how you act man. did you act like that towards people at events since you were a tech insepection guy? did you say **** like that to people? is that why you're retired? did the nhra fire you because you put racers and everybody else down?

See....You do NOT know how to act or talk to people. You react like a little punk to a simple joke. If I was close to you I would be the first one there to help you assemble your engine/car. Prep your cylinder heads, etc. GROW UP. You dont know me. Im done.

You don't read this place much do you? That is mostly what goes on here.

Run 4.10 gears and a semi reasonable converter and you can drive it and bracket race it. But it won't be as consistent without a ton of gear and converter.

Do you already have a race car? Then having a bracket car isn't that much use to you. If you don't, you need to get out there and get some win lights definitely build a race car.

It all fell into place when you said you just turned 18.Good for you ,you have alot of ambition but you need to have a thick skin to get through life.If you're going to race seriously putting a sbc in a moostang is a minor thing.Go to the class section.Now there's some really serious **** going on there.I wouldn't recommend the lounge yet.We eat 18 year olds for breakfast.Right Sean?
All in fun.

Bring back the Draft. A couple of years in the Army or Marines would toughen him up.
