Default Re: Ford sucks...or do they?

Just pick up a chiltons manual and look up all the fireing orders for all the 351 V8 engines ford made,I think there are 3 or 4 different ones and chevy only has 1 fireing order for ALL V8 engines 18436572 for all these years and that alone should be reason enough!FORD HAS A BETTER IDEA NOT!!!!

I really don't think there should be a fence at all, as cool cars are cool cars, regardless of make.

That said, I think Chevrolet stuck with one firing order to make up for the fact that they put the distributor on the wrong end of the engine........

Tom,

Well said ! I went out and bought myself a Cobra Mustang
a little over a year ago. It's a blast to drive and it has
the seldom ordered side exhaust.



When I was younger, it definately was a hate relationship
with Ford. However, as we get older ( and more mellow )
and wiser, we start to see the good in a lot more. Aaah,
maybe just too much egg nog.

If you like it --- BUY IT ! The Cobra GT500 has my attention
and I'm might buy one next year.

Steve
