Fox T-Bird/Cougar Forums  

Too bad it was in a 358cu.in. V-8 car that was a 4-speed & had the floor pan of a '65 Galaxy ...I still dig they gave props to it, though
 

 Anybody that drives a Fox 'bird, or Cougar KNOWS you can't make a u-turn without putting it in reverse at least once :rollin:

it was a move to make it easier for people to not screw up.

Guys do this to look cool and attract women. What kind of tasteless women are they after? Do those wheels prove that you have money to waste on ugly, shiny, stupid bling?  These look as bad as cars with huge cowl hoods and drag tires on the street. Ugh.

Anyone notice that Cadillacs are the primary victim of most of this ?

Well, for the most part it is :(

But you still have to mind the rules here. Not too hard.

Hey....watch that language.There's women and younger ones around here.

and to add insult to injury it's got a small block Chevy in it

I know it's not an LTD, but it does have an LTD nose on it. 

Nathan , your info is absolutely correct
 It is all about the combination of parts, and making the engine the most efficient it can be .
 BUT not everyone is out to accomplish the same ends you are .
 The OP said what he had and what he was told and wanted to know what we thought
 With his combo  and his complete lack of funds a (used) dual plane such as a performer , or stealth would accomplish exactly what he wants  . better throttle response and more power .for most likely if he shops right, less that 75$ 
 Gears and a converter and a shift kit and a cam change  or headers are going to cost a substantial amount more that that.


 Now is his  the "best" combo out there? Probably not . Will it perform better in the seat of his pants? I think so.
 
But I'm not going to just forget all my experiences and knowledge, not to mention I think that the engineers and designers at places such as Edelbrock and Wieand are a hell of a lot smarter than me .
 A dual plane serves a purpose  and if "covering up a mistake "  is covering up the one size fits all design of a factory set up why is that "wrong" 
 I joined the other site that you are an admin on because I'm highly curious and I believe I can learn some things, but I refuse to forget things That i already know are true.
Again  I'm not trying to argue just disagree :D
 You clearly know your stuff .  But one size fits all never works

Yup....Brand X is better than Brand Y, which is better than Brand Z.
:punchballs:

I've had 'em all, Ford, Dodge, GM...
Sooner or later, they will all leave ya on the side of a road.

I will say this, I absolutely do NOT have ANY love for GM's transmissions, from the TH400 in my old Jeep pickup, to the electronic 700R4-something in the Caprice. They all suck balls.

Otherwise, I'm not to picky about GM. I'd rather walk than own a Dodge...maybe that is because when I owned Dodges, I walked more than I drove...hell.

And the comment about buying American, tax dollars, and all....
If we didn't have to be so coddled and f*ck-all...GM might be in better shape...trickle effect..unions, healthcare, etc. brought GM down. The shiznitty economy didn't help, but didn't cause it.
Anyway, it's about a man's truck, not what we think is better..

What year, what engine, and what (if any) mods are planned? :D
