Uncle Tony's Garage: Basphemy upon the FE

[Qikbbstang]

Fascinating "fact's and video shots on "bottom ends"  Mopar vs Big Block Chevy with massive blasphemous bias on the FE:
Chevy/Mopar who copied who on deep skirted block, cross-bolts, "crows foot webbing" and "the FE was extinct/inferior at the time"/late 60s ?......
Sadly Uncle Tony needs a FE dropped off on his toe.

It's not worth it...
Just let the chebby and nopar guys have their moment.

Then go out and spank them at the track.

Uncle Tony's timeline seems messed up on Mopar and GM block features.. Surprised me on the Mopar's cross-bolted bottom end mirrored the FE's.
Please correct me but is the FE a smaller block then the Mopar and BBC?......
Wasn't there a number of years where when Chevy big blocks were near never seen in NASCAR with/when Ford FE's and Mopar running the show?.

FE 4.63 bore center, 426 is 4.80 bore center and BBC is 4.84 bore center ... 429-460 is 4.90 bore center, more room for cylinder wall and main saddles the further apart the centers are

Ehhhh just ignore it. He used a bunch of my calibration info years ago and grossly misunderstood it.
He ended up using 76 jets in 2x4 550cfm carbs and his conclusion was that the FE just doesn’t make any power.
Couldn’t be more ignorant.

Does anyone see the irony of UT's example of the 426 hemi? Has a hole in the block you can drive a small car thru. I guess that is one of the downsides of the internet, anybody and everybody can be an "expert" on any topic they want by posting videos and blathering bullsh*t into the camera. The time I wasted watching that video was valuable time I'll never get back.

I agree he is terrible, complete waste of internet space, dumbing down any gullible viewer.

[hbstang]

you have to consider the source on crap like this.it seems that you tube and other social media is just about them yacking with very little content,as they just need clicks.a lot of politicians have firgured that out,the one with the most riduculous statments is played the most.427/429 fords did very well in nascar compared to gm.

You never win conversations/arguments like that, so it's best to let them just think that they are right. 

There's so much false stuff floating around the internet and for some reason, it just gets forwarded and passed down for years, by a bunch of guys who think they know what they're talking about.

I tend to agree with you, Brent. What's irritating to me though is, many people who watch UTG and aren't familiar with Fords history will believe this junk.

I like taking my little FE power Foxbody Mustang down to the track and kicking the crap out a lot of GM and Mopar powered race cars. When people come over to see what just beat them, I say its just a N/A Stroked FE. Most racer have know idea what the heck an FE is.
So I really don't care what they say about FEs it's more fun showing them what an FE can do.

I don`t really care too much about some of the youtube sillyness, like this "Uncle Tony" rant. First he is talking about "Musclecar" engines, then switches to Nitro burning Top Fuel engines, there ain`t no factory MoPar 426 Hemi parts in a current TF engine, nor has there been for decades. Tonight, when somebody mentioned how Bob Glidden dominated with the 351C, back in the lbs per cubic inch era, and the Boss 429 based 500 cube engines, after NHRA made the switch to 500 inch engines, and Tony said that means nothing, because Glidden never ran  in a blown Nitro class, or No Prep Kings!  So it wasn`t just FEs, he was disrespecting all Ford engines. Maybe somebody should ask Tony what year a 426 Hemi or BB Chevy won LeMans.  I guess us FE guys will never be able to compete with Tony`s fleet of slow, ugly 4 door MoPars , each with a silly name and a glove box full of excuses. Hopefully we will somehow manage to carry on !

Maybe Uncle Tony needs to talk to Pat Austin about them B429 and why they quit racing?
 Tony knows his Mopars but he is about 50 percent on other makes, he did call out the "black ghost" hemi Challenger as a phony Detroit street racer that ended up the kid made up the phony story about street racing but only admitted it after it brought big money on Barrett Jackson
