Law, you know that's not the only reason. The court of public opinion picks GM motors hands down over ford motors. Look at hots rods across the country. Looks at drag strips across the country. It's a much higher percentage of GM v Ford motors everywhere. Small block v small block, or LS v Mod. LS packaging is better out of the box, LS power is better out of the create, LS ECU compatibility is better, and finally and most importantly, LS parts availability is better with a much larger aftermarket.

How many drag strips across the country have you been too? Pretty bold statement

And to get out in front of your funny car and top fuel argument, Dodge has ruled that since ever.

These aren't the end of the car and can be fixed, but the chassis damn sure isn't bulletproof. And to flip your words.. They prefer to go forward with chevy powered...

This isn't worth arguing Law. It's abundantly clear the GM small block, big block, and LS populate the globe many times over compared to Ford motors. Believe what you want, it's your world, but truth is there's no doubt GM motors are much more common. Super comp, super gas, super street, top sportsman, top dragster, and any class I'm leaving out, has a majority of GM based motors.

Truth. Only point of contention (dodge comment) would be that NONE of those cars are OE blocks or heads, and the only similarity between them and a dodge design is the hemispherical combustion . Big chief pontiacs are pretty damn good too : )

It doesn't mean it's superior, it's just so happens to be that way

According to what he posted, yes, I'm wrong. If those are the legit measurements, then I stand corrected. The original post I'm referencing had different measurements thus my statement. Personally, it doesn't bother me enough to look it up and verify.
