Mopar better than Chevy

[DeltaV]

The Fastest Vehicle In America In 1978​

The Dodge pick-up could also cover the 1/4 mile in 14.71 seconds at 93 mph. To put this time into perspective, the Li'l Red Truck was faster than the Porsche 928 (15.31 seconds), faster than the Porsche 911/SC (14.81 seconds), and would have the edge on the Ferrari 308/GTS (15.08 seconds).

Chevy blocks are weak. The crankshaft hangsdown below the block that’s -why they need four bolt mains- even with four bolt mains a two bolt Mopar block is still stronger- then there’s the obvious valve train, rocker stud issues. My Chevy friends will admit the weakness weaknesses I’ve talked about. Why do you think the aftermarket caters to all their problems? Forgot to mention that many racers needed the Mopar four speed behind the munchies could not hold up

I've read if you leave a Chevy block on a engine stand for an extended time it will distort. You need to support the front end. T/F?

True. That's where the old phrase " woblee bolcks" came from. Ironically it turned into " woblee pops".
