From everything I've seen on the T-bolts, the mods required to get the big motor in that engine compartment were extensive!
10 lbs. of Sh** in a 5 lbs. bag whereas the maxie had plenty of room even with the huge exhaust manifolds they had!
Lots more B-body NSS Maxie repli-cars running around than there are Ford T-bolts. Mainly because of the simplicity and interchangeability of BB's that Mopar designed in. Ford always over-complicated things IMO.
Multiple motors with the same displacement (or close) yet nothing interchanges.
Yeah, I got off track but I don't care which was faster.
Give me a simple, proven combo that's not a complicated nightmare and I'll run that combo all day! ..and win with it!
