All I have to say is the chevy small block has always had a rear main bearing in the back and the two middle exhaust ports go side by side. A FORD 351 HAS A CENTER MAIN BEARING IN THE MIDDLE AND GAPPED UP EXHAUST PORTS. I DON"T WANT NOTHING LIKE A BUY PRODUCT. LOL

Enjoy your F-body no matter what engine's in it!
ok.. really... when you start comparing cars... it is WRONG to compare stock to stock... this may sound weird... but hold on... hear this out.
If you are out to BEAT as many people as you can, are you going to buy a stock car (that's power and times will be commonly known!) and try and race people? Stock vs stock is a dumb argument. Yes... the ls1 is better. Sure, put a turbo or spray on the lt1 and hand the *** to the ls1... but what if they did the same? You would get killed. Its not about "that car makes more power stock", its about what you have done and what they have done. If you have a fully forged stroker motor blown on on the juice.. then that is hwat you have... regardless of the other guy being stock or modded. If you want to be faster tha nthe next guy, then you will mod your car. Having a stock car and trying to be faster than someone else is pointless, regarldess of you driving a LT1 or LS1...
