Not to start a flame war or anything with your first post man, but WHY in the HELL does seeing a 4.6 make you sick?

Can you just imagine when the Overhead Valve V8 became widley popular back in the early 50's, the Flat Head guys saying. "Man those new Ford Overhead valve V8's make me sick."

GROW UP AND GET OVER IT. If your against small displacement engines, I got a 289 to show ya. The 281 is only 8....COUNT IT...8...Cubic inches less in displacement. If the Overhead Cam part makes you queasy, then go into your F-Body and get sick. All this GOSH DARN NEW FANGLED TECHNOLOGY..OH NO MY HEAD IS SPINNING..OVERHEAD CAMS.....RUN AWAY.

What I'm sick of is people calling the Overhead cam concept RICE. Since when is technology RICE. I love my 289, but I also grew to love the 4.6 eversince I rode in a 99 GT 5 spd. With alittle Mods, and Relatively low money, the basic bolt ons can get you pretty far in the 4.6 that makes you so sick.

OH BUT CAMS ARE 800 DOLLARS..Meanwhile so is an aftermarket exhaust for the LS-1's. Aftermarket intakes????Aftermarket HEADS....Last time I looked through jegs, summitt and even some LS1 web sites (Okay I do spy on the enemy some

) I didnt see any of the above mentioned in the LS-1 Aftermarket. Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Nuff said.
