    Ford made the Sportmans cheaper in 2006.
    I built a 347 for a customer.
    The engine was maybe 500 hp.
    The car was running 6.80's in the 1/8 and he cracked the block in the lifter valley.
    The engine only had about 35 pass's on it.
    My advice to people is save your money and go Dart.

    You can get a Dart aluminum for about that much!!!! The cast irons are quite a bit less....

    If you shop around you should be able to find the Dart Iron Eagle for about $2,000.
