I'm Glad to see the little F-series has some type of fan base

The H -series makes a great N/A race motor.
a. for its awesome bore/stroke ratio
b. the oiling system is well engineered for hard track use

The F -series reasons for why it currently sucks.
a. it can have the same bore a H--but the F stroke is massive long in comparison,(especially on the the 2.3liter version)
b. the head needs some work over to start to flow.
c. no superior prelude oil system to save a romped on bottom end. (F22 with F23 bored out pistons would be more inline with an H23 in bore/stroke--so in this regard we are getting better.)

For a race motor a. and c. really can't be easily overcome. B. isn't too much of a challenge. However, on a street motor which realistically shouldn't see much more abuse then what many see currently. Building an F for the street should be a real fun thing to do IMO. And if you've prepped the block well to handle street abuse those same measures should really make it a nice block for Nitrous aswell. Another reasons for building an F is cheap block sourcing. F's are like dirty underwear--everybody has some sitting in the corner.

Basically I just want to build an F-because I love my Cord and I love the little 'F 'cause it gets no love. Not to mention the amount of flaming that will come one day when some loudmouth posts a fully build F-series that has average power. I guess the main motto is different strokes for different folks--get it--its a pun
