Weak mains? You don't know much about Fords, do you? Its apparent you don't by some of the statements you are making....Cylinder head sealing? no cookie for you on this one either, 4 bolts per cylinder seals just fine, thank you. I've seen more Chevys with cylinder head sealing problems than Fords especially when you toss in the bolt hole/water jacket problem and don't forget the deck cracking problem all stock BBC blocks seem to have. One thing you are correct on....no engine is perfect, they all have their weaknesses but if you are going to blather about the weaknesses of Fords at least know what you are talking about.:idea:
If you think 4 bolts per cylinder is enough then you've never made enough cylinder pressure to make hp for sh-t. And if your going to BLATHER it would be good to know what your talking about,gm performance blocks dont have the head bolts into the water jacket and i've never seen one with a cracked deck.Those are " some " of the weeknesses of the ford and I have witnessed them personally. So go ahead and blather on
