When is a slick no longer a slick?

MrEvil · Post by **MrEvil** » August 30, 2007, 1:50 am

The folks that put Chevy Engines into Fords are Chevy fans that won't just admit that Ford's built vehicles that look twice as good as anything General Mediocrity ever thought about.

It almost makes me want to buy a '57 Corvette, yank the motor out and give it a Viking funeral in my fishin hole and then plop a Thunderbird 312 in its place. No reason, just for spite :p (I don't call myself Mr Evil for nothing)

Stock 350 crate engines are pretty cheap to come by I'll admit, but if you're wanting anything that makes serious power you'll pay the same money for a Ford. In the larger displacements Ford is ALOT cheaper since the 350 seems to be the only motor GM wants to sell anybody.

I'm with 61ford on this one, if you want OD so badly there's plenty of options in auto and standard that'll work with Ford engines.

LAME

What is this, highschool? This is the best you guys can do? Bitch and moan on about your own self imposed rules on what others should do with thier own property. Seriously, this is lame.

Watch this instead, at least it's funny considering the context you layed out.

To all the fellow Canadian's in this club,we are the minority obviously,and it does not matter what you say or do on here,the Americans think they are God and nobody exists north of the border,they do not believe we can build trucks up here,I personaly do not care what one person does to his truck,it is his truck,his money and his time,and if it looks like a cobbled piece of shit,who care's he is the one behind the wheel and thinks it is a great truck.I build 56-66 Ford trucks and I have taken the cleaniest rust free all orig truck's from great ole USA and cut the shit outta them to make a great hot rod.Canada exist's with or without the USA, bottom line is wheather your in Canada or the USA or anywhere else on this great planet,if you wanna cut it up and make it suit you,go ahead,cuz it's your money and the truck shows would be an awfull boring place to go if we all built them the same, little bitchboy opinions dont matter,real men cut'em up!!!

We were asked for our opinion, Steve. Are we all supposed to have the same opinion, now? What, have we joined the Borg collective?

I can also NOT give an opinion when asked not to.

I wonder just what it is we are supposed to talk about here, since it seems like every other thread someone is whiining about what is being talked about.
Jus sayin'.

I like Canada. I was in Windsor and checked out a speed shop up there. I am kinda jealous cuz my choices are Jegs store, auto zone, or mail order. I cant remember the name of the speed shop I saw. i think it was on ouellette ave if you are familiar with Windsor at all.

I think I am so against GM in a Ford because people honestly believe GM is the ONLY performance engine, like a GM is magical or something with almost free parts and unlimited power potential and reliability. I am not saying its not an ok engine I mean it has been proven but its not the end all beat all of automotive powerplants. when I start to discuss the reasons I like my 460 and try to show examples of massive power on a stock block and rotating the GM boys stick their fingers in their ears and yell "LA LA LA LA LA I CANNOT HEAR YOU MY GM WILL BEAT YOUR FORD" or "CAMARO CAMARO CAMARO"

it gets old.

Ok after reading my post I realize I am not much better than doc pecker.I appoligize to the American people in this group,I have many friends in the USA and get along great with most Americans,so again I appoligize for painting everybody with the same brush.
As for the trucks,build what you want to build,I agree ford's belong in ford's,but I am not going to tell someone they have to put a chev in a chev and a ford in a ford,As a builder of trucks,I build what my customer wants,it's his money,his truck,and what he wants that pays my bill's.
Oh and remember one thing here guy's,"opinions are like asshole's,everybody has one"

ELpolacko · Post by **ELpolacko** » August 30, 2007, 3:21 pm

Johnny, I'm just stating MY opinion. Am I not allowed to have one here or what?

This "debate" has been going on for decades. It proves nothing other than those who engage in it can't get past thier own predjudice.

[STATEMENT]

I proclaim that ALL automotive manufacturers suck on some or most levels of compentence. No one manufacturer can lay claim to the best for all walks of life. I pick and choose to my whims, moods and tastes at the moment. If yours differs from mine it doesn't make either opinion less valid.

You want to De-ball my truck because of MY engine choice? Fine, I then get to call you a narrow minded biggot stuck with a highschool mentality.

[STATEMENT]

Like I said, Ford VS Chevy debate = LAME

I like Canadians, their tasty when cooked over a pit BBQ

Your mileage may vary but I cannot recall any such debate going on in any of the GM or MOPAR related websites. Most like www.chevytalk.com are pretty welcoming to all of their subscribers. I even spot occasional respect for other marks.

But when it comes to mullet sporting hesher-mobiles the intelegence level drops significantly.

Just for intelectual fodder: The last two city sponsored cruise nights that I attended here in Phoenix were punctuated by some "dip-stick" in a Mustang doing a crazy burnout and careening into the crowds lined up on the street..... Not Camaros, Honda or other such hoontastic cars, nope. Mustangs.

In response to the original question, in my opinion, if it looks like a Slick, well, it must be one.

Engine choice in up to the OWNER, and if the next guy doesn't like it, tough tuchus. Same for any other part. Is a Kenwood stereo allowed? It don't say Ford.

If you don't like the OTHER guys truck, car, bike, whatever, so what? Don't look.

Personally, I think the GM needs a GM, Ford needs a Ford, MoPar needs a MoPar. But, if I trip over a 426 Hemi, I know where it will end up. And it's in my backyard.

I don't usually get into these things or flaming trucks for sale threads. I think a Ford in a Ford, Do as you will but prsonally if I'm at a show and see a slick with brand x motor I have no interest and go to the next with the exception of cooksters at ss 2 and now that motor is gone. Now this is a Ford truck forum and if you have brand x motor and flaunt it you're going to hear crap as if I put a 351 cleveland in a Silverado and was posting on chevytrucksaregreat.com, just the nature of the beast.

Good stuff, JC, but the Zamboni was invented in California.

It was originally built on a Jeep chassis, which raises the query, when is a Zamboni not a Zamboni?

Max · Post by **Max** » August 31, 2007, 9:31 am

You crazy canucks may have invented that stuff... but we yanks perfected it. Yes, including marrying kin folk.
