Everyone, I need some help here.

[MO351]

Guys I"m needing some help with some mustang owners and GM owners on a mustang website that have no clue what a L is. They don't believe in the handling and performance of the L. They are comparing us to LS-1 owners with "swelled head syndrome" as they put it. Where's some hard core evidence I can get my hands on to shut them up since all the main pages of the old site with all the specs are gone? If you want I can post a link to the post which is now 3 pages long over there. I'm tired of arguing with the ignorant and they "need hard evidence" to believe what we all know about our trucks. Please help me out here.

www.svt.ford.com might be of some help for specs.

What website????

Just tell them to find one and race it. Then they will learn once they see the Lightning emblem on the tailgate. Besides, if thet haven't heard of them by now, then don't waste you time.

Where Y't Adam, Someone posted the mag. article of the '93L vs the 454ss on the new board but I don't know who or what title. Hope this helps. My foregetter works better that my rememberer.

It's on mustangworks and I'm going to fight these bastards. Pisses me off. I did happen to find a website that had a nice section on it that was straight from Gary Siegel telling a bit about the trucks. I posted it for their reading pleasure. I NEED MORE!!! Help me out here. FMOS, Jeff I know you surely have some stuff I could use.

Hmmmmmm, now it says this, The web site you are trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer. Maybe try back later?

I too have been looking for the specs page that was on the main page. Been trying to figure out combustion chamber size for like a week now.

The heads have a 64cc combustion chamber.
