Hey stanley Get Your Facts right

Hey Stanley,
You said that ford raced FE's because that's all they had and they didn't have some special division like Ford motorsport or Ford racing.
Well actually ford put a lot af money into developing the race 427's. It was important job that attracted customers. That job just couldn't be handled by some small budget parts shop built next to the dealership. "Ford", not some extra division for small time enthusiast like yourself Stanley but "Ford" itself invested money to win races. They funded the race teams and built the parts because it was important to their image. They had to have a good engine. They also had the power to make major modifictions and come up with completely new parts, unlike The present Ford racing division that makes bolt on parts and stronger blocks and stuff. The can not design a complete new engine, like Ford itself did back in the 60's when they had a reputation to keep.
Dont tell me that the off the shelf engines are better the factory made race engines. These new engines are simply bought from ford and built with other parts and raced. This is all done by the funding of a company like kmart and tide and not Ford itself. If these companies could make their own engines they would do the same how ford did in the 60's with it's race built 427 side oiler. With all that money, Ford came up with exotic engines like the 427 sohc but not the 351 windsor. Simply put, The 427 Fe was built by ford to race, The 351 windsor (your hero) was later taken by race teams and adapted to race(because thats all they had).
This thread, so far...
