TH just locked his "England gun laws" thread because i asked why he'd post all the stuff he did,only to lock it without cause or provocation? .....very odd!

All this talk of the old mopar 440's kind of has me wishing for my 1969 Dodge charger back.....Biggest muscle I've ever endured was a Dodge 440...goin' round and round in one spot....
Best,

Oh yeah, and a Mustang 5.0 that tore out the motor mounts when tromped.....
To me, it's all about, "Getting there."
Sounds like a great story! I for sure want to hear the details!!!!Yep,
Loved my little '67 Galaxie 500 with the 289.
Always started quickly, even in the coldest of Kansas winters, never a problem
until some jackass head-on smacked me overnight on July 4th while it was parked on the street.
Never got a cent from that. The joker was never caught.
About 1978-1979?
I still drove that car for two more months even after the insurance company listed it as totaled....
I digress....Forgive me....
Perhaps an idea for another thread?
Best,
Scott
PS.
Believe it or not, the story gets much wilder after this.....
Any requests for details?
(It involves family scandals...the things that television shows now cater to....)
1993 crate 6.2. one of the last slated for the Humvee before they went ot the 6.5. .60 over, sleeved backed down to .40 Multifuel injector pump. Ported and polished heads, HiPop injectors, and stainless ceramic coat headers. Built this in 97 before they had a such thing as "diesel performance"
I miss the old girl, but they took the sulfur out and that was what made them indestructible. Now they have these micro particulate low sulfur ozone killers so they can charge twice as much for fuel. I got 25 mpg's to the gallon city with 4.56's and 33's. with a 50/50 K-1 to #1 fuel ratio the Durmax LBZ got to see taillights. The few chipped ones that got ahead of me put out so much smoke I couldn't see anything until I passed them around 90mph and 2600rpm. NO SMOKE. It was the closest Gm ever came to matching that hunk of iron in your rig. Their problem is that they couldn't leave well enough alone. I installed a Sidewinder, but at sea level it just bogged down. I turned the pump up a few degrees and WOW.With the exception of that engine their best was the 1970's era 250 straight 6. Not that the 305H.O wasn't something. But what the hell is the point of building great engines if they're obscure? And oyou can't even remember what you put them in?
There is no sound sweeter than the sound of a diesel! I have my old 12 valve with a number 6 fuel plate, timing at 15*, tabbed kdp, swiss cheesed air box and silencer ring m.i.a., gutted cat and over 400,000 miles still going strong getting about 21 mpg! A new one gets maybe 12 mpg or so? About the worst newer diesels out there are the 6.0 and 6.4 ford powerstrokes....I have already blown one 2008 6.4 up at about 43000 miles.....pathetic!
