Re: I think we should take a good look at the 445 Thunderjet
Low production volume in obscure applications...it will be a dud, just like the 8.1 GM is a dud. why would any serious ford guy try to build one of these when you can build a big inch 385 series with lots of aftermarket support for far less money?

Re: 1400 hp Big Chevy combinations
Wonder if a big block ford has a better chance of holding up You must be a mind reader... After so many negative responses about trying to hit the number with a big block chevy, I was actually starting to look at 521-557 ford based engines.. seems strange that the Ford version would be a cheaper op...
