What do YOU consider fast??

High end chevy and Ford engines want and use shaft rockers. Real high end stuff is using a ball adjuster and cup on the end of the pushrod on some engines.
Career best 8.02 @ 169 at 3050# and 10" tires small block power.

Ford sold Autolite years ago, if you where using Motocraft spark plugs and filters you would be a real Ford parts user Just messin with you, Fram, or whoever the parent company is, has owned Autolite for years. Autolite makes good spark plugs still, no matter that Ford did own them back in the day, I guess some companys can unlearn bad habits By the way most of my stroker motors use the 2.200 rod journal sizes and rod bearings, AKA BB Chevy sizes I wonder how many racers that use a all after market parts in a nine inch Ford type rear end say they have a Ford nine inch rear end in there cars

most have a chevy rod,
Although the rods in my motor are based on a Chevy engine (2.220/0.990), they are not Chevy parts at all. They are 0.400" longer than a Chevy rod, and made by SCAT not GM. The rod bearings are made by Clevite to Chevy BB dimensions, so is that what you mean? And I have a Delco 10SI alternator made for GM in the '70s.

The chevy valves in my -1 heads are made by Manley
Let's see...
Manley valves made specifically for Mopar Indy 440-1 heads: Manley Exh Valves 11813-8, 1.81 dia, .3415 (11/32) stem, 5.369 length Manley Int Valves 11850-8, 2.25 dia, .3415 (11/32) stem, 5.344 length
The BB Chevy intake valves are 5.22" long, the 440-1 are longer. The BB Chevy exhaust valve are 1.88" dia and 5.325" long, not the same.
So the 2.25" intake valves aren't Chevy either, they are +.100". These are just race parts, not GM.

This sounds like some sort of trolling effort...
The purpose for such a thread would be what?
the purpose of the tread is a lot of guys say brand x this and brand x is that...ford is this and ford is that but we all have some sort of brand x parts some where on our cars..most of the racers do anyway....then there are the chevy are not fast ford is not fast....what makes mopar so fast ..I have chevy buddies and ford buddies that are fast glad to know them and love to help out with it when I can...I enjoy my mopars and don't care what make as long as its fast....

No 1 brand car is faster than another. Its all in the setup and how much cash you have into them. Heck my old 87 buick gn 6 cyl stock would of put a beating on many big block stock muscle cars. Many people just love to talk up what ever brand cars they like. Thers no this brand is faster than another just what brand do you like. And for some reason the mopar fans seem to really hate the the fact that a gm or ford part may end up on a mopar. thats not me though.

1 Wire mini alternator 4 3/4 bolt pattern wheels .990 pins The 8 3/4 may one day be replaced with a 9" but it will have no Ford made parts...it'll be 100% aftermarket (housing included) That's all I can think of

There is not a single GM or Ford part on my race car. It does however have an alternator off a Bobcat on it. But then my car isn't all that fast.

If the goal of your post was to just you would get more response in the General forum. To me it's your car do what you want.
no that's not the reason for the post.. if guys don't like what they read why post in it maybe they are the 1's trying to .. I just don't understand why some will open a post and bash/talk sh-t in itor about it..if its not to your liken keep it moving...that's not directed at you or anyone else unless they fall in the group..

Well' I am one of the very few guys that race a car that actually sez "CHRYSLER" on it - - although it was built in Canada so I should be exempt if I use a non Mopar part.

This is a ridiculous thread but here ya go. Im all for keeping it mopar at heart. But are you talking mopar by design or factory chevy parts on a mopar? I run a 4 inch crank in my small block 360 brodix heads edelbrock intake etc.... But i robbed a sbc distributor clamp. Is that what you mean by a fast car using brand x parts? Or my 604 uses a 4.75 crank with chev 7.1 rods. But 7.1 isn't a stock length rod only the big end diameter is chev. Does that mean its a chev part? I am however running a glide behind it wich is a chev trans. But its in a tube chassis 70 cuda with a dana. SOME ONE HELP ME!!!! Have i lost my mopar heart? Im soooo confused .........
Sometimes ridiculous threads are good cause no matter what you say, you can't step on someones elses toes - plus you will be right - no matter what you say.
True enough hahahahaha
