    Lidio I have enjoyed your thread and the way you document everything you do. I feel compelled to come in defense of that little 281. How Ford chose to release the MM. does an injustice to that little 281, I changed the exhaust on mine (SVO shorties) the airbox (PHP) and U/D's....all else is what Ford put in it. I have 265 ft/lbs of torque at 2000 rpm's, arrive at 300 tq at 3850 and remain above 300 to 5200 rpm's.

    If I stab the pedal from a dead stop the car will spin the tires without moving for about 1 to 2 seconds and gradually hook-up and start to bolt....I have; in my younger days owned or driven big block V-8's and with the exception of the 440 six-pack none of them bolted from a dead start any better than my little 281.
