which is faster

:rolleyes: what is the faster ford does any one know, is it.. (A)ford 72 till 78 (B)ford 80 till 85 (C)ford 89 till 94 (D)95 till 2002 in the v8 catergory and do you know what motor WINDSOR OR CLEVO

clevo for sure the new ones got more power dont know times

Our new fords and holdens pull around the 13 1/2 sec quarter so the new ones are the fastest. In between 1980 and up untill recently with the AU, there was pretty much just a whole load of nothing. Seventies mate, these were the real muscle cars, XY GTs, Phase III's, XA's XB's. The Cobra was a lot to look at, but I don't really consider a muscle car. Old GT's didn't go quite as hard, but that was 30 years ago. You'd think they'd think come up with more than a 20 kilowatt gain in 33 years. Its all the bullshit regulations and political crap that goes on. I say bring out an 11 second HO.

The GT now has the same power as the Phase III, around 290+kW but it's unknown but definatly higher than what ford stated when the HO was released.

hey i wished i could have seen the new ones. the latest one i have seen
is 1970. and it was quick it had a 351w big block. :chair:

screw winsor,
my cousin has a 1974 351c and its a small block,
351 is a smallblock BTW.

i would like to have any v8 right now i`m still running aroung with a 170 6cyl. :chair:

ah the lack of power in the pre-crossflow engines,
I bet u'd love a 250 crossflow right about now.

I'm pretty sure that the 351c is the big block and the 351w is a small block.

I'm pretty sure that the 351c is the big block and the 351w is a small block.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong :grinno:

302C, 351C & 400M are all Cleveland-family smallblocks

true,
You can have smallblocks with 400+ cubes. But because their smallblocks that have been bored and stroked their still called smallblocks.
It's a grey area.

Where is the grey?

No matter how much (or little) its bored or stroked, any engine is still based on, and inextricably related to, their 'familial' engine block design. Of Ford OHV V8s of the last 40 years, that means either ..

Small block:
Windsor
Clevo

Big block:
FE
385

For someone who didn't know it was a smallblock they would think bigblock because of the 400+ cube numbers.
