 Posted: Wed Nov 10, 2004 11:48 am Post subject: V8 Supercar engine blocks |
 |
|
i was told by a guy that the FORD V8supercars use a chev 304 block. THis was his arguement.
| Quote: | ill pull money on it ay....
Do you think ford are going to say that they use a Chev 304 block on their website?
All the Teams are handed the blocks by the governing body at the start of each season. This is to ensure that they are all the same capacity, the only part they are alowed to go haywire with is induction, and exaust, which is why V8 touring cars will never let you photograph the seasons induction setup |
im bewildered! does anyone have any solid proof that ford DONT use chev blocks???? |

| Quote: | | i had a look at that, all it says is a ford motorsport cast iron block, that could mean anything, for instance Ford Motorsport Injectors are made by Bosch e.t.c, its common knowledge that they are all chev 304 blocks hey, cause Ford pulled the pin on the 302, and holden dont make the holden V8 anymore, so they got to source it from somewhere, and chev still make the 304 blocks for the SUV's in America.... |
thats what i got back! |

Tell him to stick his "it's common knowledge" up his a**. Provide some real proof they're using chev blocks.
A ford motorsport block means exactly that - it was made by FMS.
Ford pulled the pin on the 302? Why can i order a brand new crate engine from FMS then?

Nahh you are not losing, he is a tossa, he is the one to have to prove that Ford use a Chev block, because he cant he will tell you anything to get out of paying up!
Why do you think he loves Holdens? Basically because he is a tossa like the rest of them. |
