302 Ford, 305 chey, 318 chrysler Quiz
I have this vast knowledge of useless information in my head ,but cant remember anything important. There was an article I read over 10 years ago comparing these 3 motors . The object was to build a good little street engine on a budget of $2000. Each was charged to a well noted engine builder . I think the chevy was given to Grumpy Jenkins,The Chrysler given to Dick Landy ,and I can not remember who got the ford but he was well known as a ford man .They had to charge reasonable going shop rates for machine work and each was trying to achieve at least 300 H.P.I think they started out with a core. They had to buy intakes cams and carburators as well as all other rebuild parts.How do you think they fared? Who won? and how much horsepower do you think they achieved?
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
