289 vs 318 ..... Ford vs Mopar

I beaten the hell out of plenty of small block Fords, 289, 302, and 351W, plus a couple of Clevelands and never grenaded one, yet. I have blown up a 350 Chevy, a 318 and a 440 Mopar.
351W? I've had my share. Dogs compared to Mopars 340. The 302 hi output was a fun screamer. But seemed like you were going faster than actual. I gave up on Fords quickly and long ago. Besides, did they purposefully try to make their cars ugly? Galaxy, Fairlane, LTD.. They did better with their compact/pony with Mustang and Cougar. They even ruined Thunderbird?
