Oh sure, but when *I* say let's do something with a small FE build everybody spits on my grave......I bought 1960 small chamber heads and small-bore shim gaskets. How many people were interested in any of that? None. They were too busy kicking me in the nuts and stealing my cell phone. The camaraderie in this hobby is stellar.
Then for the 5th time I'll ask...instead of griping and complaining about why nobody does an engine like this, why don't YOU do one? Why is it always "let's", or "why don't we"? Remember that old saying...."Put up...."
I'd apologize if that sounded disrespectful, but I'm not sorry. I get tired of your whining and complaining. DO IT!
As usual, the point goes over your head. If there is NO interest in a grassroots-level build of a common, inexpensive engine, then there is NO point in expending the time and money in doing so. For what? To hear crickets chirp when I'm done?
It's a forgone conclusion that Blair will get good power because he is Blair. But the rest of us ain't Blair.
I
was going to petition Jay to form a Grassroots subforum here. Anyone that has read sbftech for a few years may recall that it had been little more than a shooting gallery for a couple vendors who dealt in "custom" cams and "stroker" short blocks. Virtually anybody that asked for advice was channeled straight to the vendors to spend on new and shiny. They finally got wise and added a grassroots section so people with used/off-the-shelf parts could participate without being denigrated for not buying into the status quo. It has worked well for them.
I had made a detailed list of topics for that DIY subforum idea that I was going to send to Jay after Drag Week. After the last go-around in the other place, I pitched the list and have been looking around for another site that may not be so much Ford-specific, but dealt with the concept in general. I have a couple possibilities, but they will be strangers dealing with a newbie using a new name. May not be a bad thing, that.
OK, I'm done.
