Seems the forum is divided somewhat by this north/south crap and all this talk about Fords. I know Sturat's Ford will get down-Esa's Tx will haul the mail-so since its winter and the BENCH racing is on-I have two questions for you guys-WHO HAS THE FASTEST FORD JET ON THE BOARD???? NOTE I SAID THB members-JET ON THE BOARD!!! Anyone bust 100mph??? or is 55-65 the norm???? HOW FAST IS YOUR FORD?????Post up!
Note-i found a twin turbo ford tunnel that i can buy for less than my wife carries in her purse and may do it just to play with you guys! My Dad has always been a Ford man and still to this day drives a 1951 f-100.So this isn't Ford /Chevy debate-just talkin Fords.... :smile17:

:smile30: great post!!

Unfortunatley, I have a slower Ford......for now anyway. None the less, I've always been a Ford guy so I'm a little partial to the Blue Oval.

Its all good to be proud of the Fords-My grandfather -told me way back that he could take his 62ford ranchero and a Sears and Roebuck Catalog and out run my 67Camaro! I had to believe him cause he'd busted my azz if i said otherwise! hahaha! clap.gif

100 mph Ford?  think.gif

I'm not being ugly but, I can't honestly say I've ever seen one.  At least that I knew of anyway.  Let the search begin!  clap.gif

Some one has to have one! With all the stroker and head stuff the aftermarket makes for Ford...A 557 should do it?Yes/No?I think Esa is close in his tx19.(from our talks) Some one will know-or is Esa the man? :smile17: Just looking for fastest mph. :smile16:

You might shed some serious light on the subject.  :smile16:

I do, on the other hand, have a little background in building a stroker ford...and I know they work. Just a little more expensive than the chevy. And the peer pressure is more than most can take.... :grin: so it's a toss up....

Built a lot of motors in my day, Pontiac, olds, Buick, Chevy's, fords.......like the Pontiac the most....but they have to be built correctly, and are high$...the bbf can be a monster, but the cost vs. the parts availability compared to a bbc is.....ummmm..comparable, but different. I've had people give me hell all my life for being a Ford man...no big deal....they run just like any other....I like being different. Just my way. I'll help anyone I can here..been building motors for 30+ years....whatever I can do , I will.

Cool man-its all American iron in my opinion. My first car was a 67 Mustang-loved it! And kicked some Chevy butt with it! Thinkin it might be cool to have both in the garage.This tunnel has been tucked away for awhile and would be a cool project.  :smile17: But then again-beer and tequila makes you wonder sometimes!HAHA!

well i certainly don't have a fast boat,  and do have a BBF tucked away in it.... not because the motor wouldn't be fast,  just because the boat is heavy like a barge,  and never was designed to bust 70mph.....  :smile29:

put have plans for a project "X"  :smile30: ....triple digits with any power plant, is all about pump and boat set up  :smile29:

i would like to really know it there is BBF 100mph boat out there myself  think.gif

I hit 88.6 on GPS with JC in the Baker with me. B impellar turning 6400 rpm. I was just starting to do some fine tuning when it broke. I guess that dosen't count now since the engines broke.
I learned a couple of things and will make the proper changes with the new block. Hopefully by spring if my big truck will stay together.

I don't think Tintman was bashing Fords in his first post, only asking the question is there a 100 MPH Ford among us.  I just crossed over to the Ford power in my boat and I am really excited to find out how it runs.  I probably don't have a 100 mph boat, but with my maturity level I probably don't need one.  I personally don't care what another Hot Boat crazy has in his or her ride.  It's the need for speed, the adrenline rush and the beer that makes my day.
