As far as this "heavy" business, when are we gong to have a true apples to apples comparison? I'd like to know power to weight ratio WITHOUT the hot rod ragazines propaganda spin.

I remember those guys always referring to Fords as "thin wall Henrys" and then in the next paragraph they talk about how heavy the Fords were.

I'll grant you that Ford V8's are typically longer but that seems like a problem the hot rodders could have gotten around fairly easy. Our Australian and Kiwi friends didn't seem to have any problems.

Neither did this guy.
