    That is beautiful, but in the winter, it will be all white and cold.

    Diesel prices are falling.

    Our lowest station just went back up from $4.189 to $4.40 which puts it at the same price as most of the other stations. The highest station in our area is $4.90

    What I've been up to lately

    There I go again, getting, getting old... I thought the thread said: What have you been up to lately. After reading it again, it says: What I have been up to lately. My only excuse is old age and senility. :dunno

    Ford vs Chevy prices

    I am not saying Ford is expensive, I am saying chebby is cheap. With just heads and valves without porting, the Ford heads cost more than the whole chebby engine. Add the porting and the Ford (Edelbrock) heads are twice the price of the chebby engine.

    What I've been up to lately

    Staying in the house, eating ice cream, a/c is set at 76 degrees, trying to stay cool, it is 108 degrees today. I am building up energy to go outside and walk to the shop. :D

    Sounds like you have had some experience with the good ole FE engines. Yes, the FE engines like High Volume "not high pressure" oil pumps. Mellings HV57 oil pump works great, and I use them in all our FE engines. I always modify the oil passages along with using the HV57 pump so the engines...

    I have a 427 side oiler, but this one is a 428 top oiler. With all the oiling modifications along with the the windage tray and roller rockers to help keep it together at 7000 rpm, it is almost as stout as the 427. Of course the 427 has cross bolted mains. The 427 block is good for 900 plus hp...

    Good question... I have not looked, because the heads are still in the boxes. I think they are straight, but will have to look. I just tested them, and the exhaust valve clears a 4.16 bore at the top of the deck, but as the valve goes down the cylinder it touches the cylinder wall, so the...

    I put a ZZ3 engine in our 240Z, and that was the biggest mistake that I made. I bleed Ford blue, but our Fords would not fit without major cutting. So my choices were a Briggs and Stratton or the Chebbie. I lost the coin toss and bought the chebby.. :( Every time I walk into the garage, I...

    Sounds like you are going to have a fun Falcon also. Mine is a 1960 Falcon with a straight axle, C-6 automatic, 9" 4.11 posi. I have a 1970 Ford 428SCJ engine with nitrous in it now, but have not run it in years, so I need to rebuild the engine, trans, and carb. "850 Holley". I have some...

    I will need to send my 428 Edelbrock Aluminum heads out to be ported for my race engine, and they have given me a price of $1,500. Below is a Chevy engine from Jeggs for about the same money. I guess you get what you pay for. :lmao GM Goodwrench 1970-85 350 Engine & Packages - JEGS

    Whatever happened to Diesel of the Month?

    The story behind the small tires is that I had both my hips replaced and was going to be down for about six months. I wanted to get my truck into the garage, but it was to tall, so I bought rims and small tires to lower the truck and get it in the garage for the six months I would not be driving...

    What's on your "wish list" of mods to do?

    Good question. 1. Wait until warranty runs out and install the best power adder at that time. I only use our truck to pull the 5th wheel, and later on will use it to pull our race car trailer, so the only need we have is for towing power. We ordered our truck from the factory with all the...

    Whatever happened to Diesel of the Month?

    The problem is that all the trucks look good, and it is difficult to choose just one. I think it would be good just to feature one persons truck once a month, so we can see all of them. jmo

    How good are the 5 speed trannies?

    One of the advantages of a manual transmission is that when going up and down hills or mountains, you have more control of the rpms. When we go West,North, or East we are in steep mountain country, where the manual transmissions shine.

    Speaking of hot summers.............

    I was just about to tell the wife we are going to Washington, until I saw the 61% humidity. The fires are winding down, so a trip to the coast is near. We are waiting for a flexplate to arrive from Jeggs, then we are free to travel. The next four days here will be warm. Redding Weather...

    Question Are there any firefighters on here?

    Move to California... We have many fires every summer and the need of good fire fighters. Winters are mild, so we have fires then also.

    Alaskan Bush Pilot STOL Competition.....

    Are you talking about an older 310G with wing tip tanks? They were designed that way to try to reduce the vortices thus reducing drag. Yes it will be good to visit. Only plans we have are to go to the coast some time this month or the next, depending on the fires.
