I am running stock internals, they are 12 years old and forged so
(butthead voice)............"uh huh huh, like beavis, your heads are not stock and neither is your cams"
(beavis voice)........... "ya ya, he he, but I'm the Great Carb'd Cornholio"

Bad Mark, BAD!!! No camS, only CAM! No donut for j00!!!! 
My bad. See I'm used to have 4 of them ya know. -Mark
Sooooo.. if mods are soo much better, how come it takes you guys 2 or 4 cams to make similar power that we can make with just one????
Ouch! that one hurt! Well my benchracing reply on that would be cause we're only working w/ 281 cubes and not 347!!!!!!!! ........."ding" your turn! -Mark
I'm not working with 347 cubes...
Does the "its smaller so give me a break" work with the girls also???

funny. They don't say anything about the size but they do say what HUGE heads I have! I was misinformed on your cubes Derek. So is it + or - 347c.i.d?

Back on this debate again.....
Last time I looked it seems my lowly ol 4.6 sure was smacking around Scott's 5.0 for peak power and both power below/above the curve, and the tree's don't wilt over as I pass by on the road either. I didn't have to swap the heads or throw a carb. on mine to get those #'s either. I guess those old pushrods motors just aren't as effiencient as you oldtimers thought
I've seen a number of modulars over reved without a problem, seems every 5.0 that gets overreved bends a pushrod or two. Gee wish I could have that problem Last but not least if the 5.0 is so superior why is it modular swaps into fox bodies are getting so popular. Oh yeah I know, smooth power and more of it throughout the powerband. You can actually put down 500rwhp with A/C and all accesories and still idle like stock. And let's not even talk about modular 5.0 to pushrod 5.0.
For strokd85 we will have to get something with a few more cubes under the hood to match your performance. I know there's a few 5.4's out there that are working there way up as far as #'s go. Give them another year or two, only took 4-5 decades to get pushrods were they are today and modulars have been around for less then 1. Seems us 'newbies' are making ground fast. Still waiting to see #'s on a stroker 5.4. Should be interesting.
Don't be mad at us, just move over and get out of our way
