If there is one more post from any McD** on this thread, they all will have two weeks off to ponder how to use PM's to talk offline and not to use posts to sideways-talk thru a thread.

I just expanded my Buddy List.

...slowly getting pissed, and that's not real good.

thanks

I thought anything painted "ocean blue" was classed as a boat anchor?

The book I had mentioned in an earlier reply regarding Ford engines, from the 221 to 460, excellent:

With some of the other comments, I'm surprised we haven't heard something like "Well, the one that corners like a brick has the 460 in it" from an FE owner, and then a reply from a BB owner, "And the one that accelerates like a brick has the FE in it"...
Seriously, the heads on the 460 are much wider than the FE, the valve cover is on both the head and the intake on the FE, and the raised head bolt pads on the 460 are some quick identifiers...
