OGRE Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Is the above a true statement? I wasn't aware Ford didn't make a push rod v8 anymore. false, the powerstroke is a pushrod motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OGRE Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Are you kidding? what a waste of a good RB26. If God were real, he wouldn't let this happen. oh, shut the fuck up. How many of those motors are in the making 1200 + horsepower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 An even better motor, if only ford would have finished the project and made it a prodution motor. http://www.supermotors.org/vehicles/articles/lfm-issue01-a2-1.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a $5,000 dollar option back in the late 60's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 ya know, ford made a Turbo 4 that you can get to 450+hp, why the FUCK would you use a FUCKING NISSAN MOTOR! Are they TRYING to gain no credibility whatsoFUCKING ever int he automotive community when they make these movies!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicktcfcsb Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 They wanted a motor the Japanese drivers would be used to for the performance driving in the movie, also its a good time to take the word GOD out of this argument since we all know its bull crap and just about the money and how quickly they could get a bunch or rice cars for the movie with whatever drive lines since we all know that Fast and F movies really don't talk about motors are much as how they are going to get into some rich Italians car mob for hiding money.

Fuck nascrap. they were readily available in the later 60's! just like the boss 429 motors! older ford racing catalogs had them as a crate engine, all you needed was a carb!

Nitrousbird Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 That is so homo. And I wonder how much one of those Nissan motors weight. It's always "assumed" that Japanese motors weight less, but I6 motors w/ turbos are NOT light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. It appears I may have been misinformed then. I was under the impresion that once nascrap baned them, they only made a limited run for drag racing. Got any links to people who still run these engines? OW-43 >* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owndjoo Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 false, the powerstroke is a pushrod motor and International makes that......Although ford does still make pushrod crate engines. like the 514ci bb we ran in our race car.

Guest Removed Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 and International makes that......Although ford does still make pushrod crate engines. like the 514ci bb we ran in our race car. But that crate motor use's older block's , doesn't count as New! as far as i know Ford is not casting any more pushrod blocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 no one said NEW, just whether or not Ford made pushrod engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impresion that once nascrap baned them, they only made a limited run for drag racing. Got any links to people who still run these engines? OW-43 >* True story: What happened was that in '64, the 426 Hemi came out and kicked everybody's butt badly at Daytona. Only thing was that the Hemi wasn't offered in a production car, it was strictly an over the counter deal for selected teams. Ford lobbied NASCAR to allow them to run the cammer. Nascar said "No way!". Things got so heated politically (Ford threatened to withdraw factory support)and finally NASCAR, banned the Hemi and the 427 high Riser heads and stated that any motor used in competition had to be installed in at least 500 cars available to the general public for the '65 season. Chrysler withdrew and Ford developed the 427 Medium Riser, won just about everything in sight including the '65 Daytona 500. NASCAR let the Hemi come back towards the end of the season, Ford started politicing for the cammer again, NASCAR still said "no" so Ford withdrew for most of the '66 season, coming back at the end of the year when NASCAR allowed them to use the smaller Fairlane body. Roughly 200 of these engines were produced, around 50 as dealer add-on cars (i.e. like MR norm hemi's, or yenko's) bought from the public. Meaning there was not "option" for the engine, back then you could buy a car without the motor and pruchase a cammer out of the catolog and the dealer would install it. But the majority went strictly for drag racing use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Removed Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 and later in the 60's they produced the boss 429 to replace it , and put them in production in 70 mustang with engine codes t or s! I think more then 200 sohc cammers were made. it is difficult to estimate how many complete SOHC engines were sold between 65 to 68(prices ranged from $5000 to $2500) , But a surprising number are still in existence and they are increasing rapidly in popularity among collectors of Muscle -era Ford products!

Science Abuse Posted December 21, 2005 Report Share Posted December 21, 2005 Shit, I missed all the Cammer conversation. They did produce more then 200, but Joel is correct on the rest. The problem is, despite the mad power those motors made, they were all side oilers, the vast majority of them were blowed up real good by drag racers over the years. i was real big into these a few years back, untill I found a long block for sale....for $25,000.

Lustalbert Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Long block for 25 k? Damn. I am surprised no one has started modifying the fe blocks themselves and started casting thier own heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoMeSomeFun Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 wouldnt they have to build a bunch of these mustangs for this movie, or is there only gonna be one riced out version and all the other mustangs are normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
