You had trucks with both motors? They weren't hybrids
of some type,were they? :)
I wholeheartedly agree with your warm accolades for
the 4.7. What a swell motor! Mine is still way too
powerful. I don't even drive it anymore. Too fast! I
had it up into the triple digits this weekend! (State
RT.550) I'm afraid of it,though.
Gonna get worse! As I am fond of saying,I have HO cams
and a HO manifold on it's way. Can't wait! :)
