Yes, we all know the vehicles were long abandoned and were simply teasing him....you know..having a little fun?

I simply gave a practical response to the issue of ownership of abandoned vehicles that had been raised. I really don't see anything 'political' in that post but if you think you do, well, O.K. then. No problem.

A quick little grammer lesson here: The word "politics" is not goverment specific, although, it's the definition most people are most familiar with.
It also means: Social relations involving authority or power , which is relative to the above discussion.
Ok, class dismissed!

Ok first, I love Mr. 5.0's responses…. Always thoughtful and well spoken. I bet getting him a little intoxicated would be a riot! If he lived closer I would do my best to see it.

Ok, now the real issue. I personally would like to see the 390. They are rare anymore and a big block, which is cool to say. It would be more expensive then the 351w and some would argue don’t use the 390 since it is rare, sell it.

Personally, if it was me on a budget for speed, use the 351w with the possibility of a cheap stroker kit. If it was a street machine that I wanted to turn heads, the 390 is a good start.

Your 'lesson' might have been more effective had you spelled 'grammar' correctly. It's a bit difficult to take someone seriously when they presume to 'teach' another poster about word usage and then begin their post with a conspicuous mistake in their own spelling, just four words in. Perhaps the would-be 'teacher' needs a remedial spelling course.

That problematic issue aside, I still see nothing 'political' in the post in question, no matter what definition you may choose to employ. At best, it's a stretch. However, I am aware that such esoteric adventures in syntax are of little use to most folks. So, while I disagree with your use of the word 'political' to describe my previous comments, I can agree to simply file it under: 'Who Cares?' and by doing so, just let it go.

Note to Ryan

If you got me drunk you probably wouldn't be able to understand me at all. Better to leave well enough alone.

Yeah, I noticed that after I typed it. You can file that in your "who cares" file as well.
I do agree with you that it wouldn't be wise to get you drunk. It would turn you into an even bigger asshole!
Speaking of assholes, they ruined a perfect asshole when they put teeth in your mouth!!

I would have, if you had taken a second to correct the typo you claim to have saw. Then, it would not have undermined your clumsy attempt to play 'teacher'. Lesson learned, one hopes.

I see. So, the crude and vulgar insult of the semi-literate is now employed as all other attempts at playing one-upmanship have failed you. Ah, well. Too bad. This is what usually happens to those who foolishly try to play 'teacher' without the necessary attributes beyond an online dictionary reference. They often resort to vulgarity...a sure sign of a paucity of intellect. Very well, you have made your insult and, by doing so, shown who you really are.

I think we're done here.

It's better to be hated for who you really are than to be loved for someone you are not. I have never changed but you have. You used to be an ok guy. You obviously ran into an unfortunate series of events in your life to be such an ass now.....so sad

Does it make you feel better about yourself when you use "big" words? Are you trying to prove something to the rest of us or yourself?
You are blinded by your own self-righteous attitude.

NOW, we are done here!

Although I wasn't fortunate enough to find it on any land I won. . .wait a minute, I did actually. Anyway, I went with a 351C in my 86 LX. I had a truckload of Cleveland parts laying around and had done it with the youngest son's car so I built one for mine, (midlife crisis thing)
I would do it again but these guys are right. It's a pain in the butt. Almost everything you do with the swap has to be modified or invented. If you're looking at an easy swap, the Windsor is the better bet. If you're looking for a unique sound like no Windsor on the planet. . go with the Cleveland.
One thing to keep in mind. I spent nearly 8 grand building this thing and for that, you can make a killer 351-W. Mine should put out around 380-400 horses (and it feels like it will) without NOS, 500 with. Had I spent an equal amount on a Windsor, there would have been a blower, stroker hit and I'm guessing around 6-700 horses out of that.
I know that's a stretch for someone just wanting to swap but it illustrates the point that dollar for dollar, the Windsor would give you more bang for the buck.

That said, I still love this cleveland thing.

Here's some idea of how a Cleveland fits in a Fox. The car's not finished yet so please don't think me slovenly. I did findc out that the hood would no longer fit. The distributor and carb stick up about 2 inches too far.
