What did you do to your car/truck today?

nice.....as far as work trucks those babies were king of the hill. I'd rather drive a chevy of those years for general use though.
chevy engines tho :/
It's cheap to fix em though
other than the 307 and a few others they were better than the ford engines of the day, imo.
Pretty much agree with that, the 400 sb stood out to me as it had a tendency to crack between the cylinder head bolt holes in the block and the cylinders themselves. It seems that block was punched out too far.
yeah well its still not as special as a 390.
Ah yes, the pushrod bending machine, those seemed to be a really well built motor at least from the standpoint of the lower end, fairly low rpm motor, with the right gearing was a great work motor, but some how it would for no apparent reason spit those pushrods.
Ford wanted shelby to use it in the cobra. They tried it and dnfed due to engine problems everytime
Well like I said, it was a good motor for low rpm applications, Just the weight alone would scratch it off my list as a performance motor.
Dirt maybe all that holds my truck together.
Looks pretty slick for an eff juan fiddy
