Camaro site debates mopar vs chevy

I streetraced Chevies in the 80's to pay for my Mopars. That's what you do with a good work mule to support the nice ponies!

Mopars ran longer and didn't require as much crazy stuff that the chevy did, BUT... The Mopars were at least 3 times as expensive to put together. How many BB Mopars back then turned much more than 6500, NOT MANY. My BB chevies saw 8500 sometimes. BB chevies eat flat tappet cams like babies drink formula. They didn't blow up, but, they wore out quickly. I usually offed them before they blew.

I had a friend that owned a nice 70 SS 454 LS6 Chevelle, 4.10 auto car with a converter, built it up pretty nice. Raced him with my stockish, suspension worked, 6 pack 70 GTX with decent tires and 4.56's. He was stunned that I was right on his door or 1/4 panel until about 1000'. Only then did that Chevelle start to pull away

Going to a swap meet was easy, you could trip over rect port alum BB Chevy heads and the only Mopar heads were cast iron stuff.

People that are caught up on one make are really missing out on some great iron. I like all the makes, had nice chevies, ford, whatever, I prefer Mopars.
