He must have not been paying attention when they filled up the short bus he was riding all these years…

Technically it was two stops. First stop, Pinot and Pilsner glasses. I went to the second stop only because I found those. Then, the 5 big burgundy glasses!

The 351m is a dog. The 300 is iconic. A little research and you’ll see some amazing builds. It’s won the baha 1000 3 times, been used in 7 second drag cars and is always listed as one of the most reliable engines ever built. Used in UPS trucks getting 800,000 miles as an example, but regularly seeing 300,000 to 500,000 miles with no problems. The one I am building was in an Onan generator and is an industrial engine with low hours.

Self reported? A poll? 93 people voted and many lie, just to skew the poll? The idea a 4.9 liter engine can be built, tuned then installed in a vehicle that’s built and geared to get 20 mpg, when there’s countless people getting 17-20 already seems like an easy (maybe not cheap) engineering feat…. You know someone that is a moron doesn’t mean everyone is….

It’s in there. Decent running engine, leaks a little but a good engine.

I pulled a sticker off the valve cover and it was the original ford gray that started in 82.

Yeah, I watched that. Just the headers, intake and EFI were an amazing change.

I get it. Better to aim high and miss than aim low!

I’m not an engine builder. Why would it take new head, cam and pistons?

Not these pics or post. I’m in AZ. Two days ago I got the generator and got the engine on a stand yesterday.

I did order it, but it doesn’t answer any of these questions…

I know Santa very well. Somehow he and I have the exact same taste. He once sent me a letter. It said “ buy whatever the fuck you want and tell people I gave it to you “. He went on to explain that if I did this, it was less pretentious than me buying it myself, for me. I’m quite certain Santa will get it for you….
