    OT-Ford Truck Engine Question?

    Sorry for the Ford question but I know you can help. I have an older (87) truck that I use for towing. It has a 460 and is set-up to tow. Apparently it had an engine oil cooler. At some point, someone had bypassed the cooler and ran a high-pressure rubber hose and attached the two...

    318 vs. 360?

    I have a pile of 318's. A couple are real good runners with decent vitals. Here is my question. Assumming similar set-ups in each engine, what is the performance increase by using the 360 vs. the 318? Is it the old 1hp per CID rule? Any one with a comparison who has ran both? Thanks...

    360 Engine Question

    I have access to a 1973 era 360 out of a Motorhome. It has about 65K on it. Are there any issues with this engine like heating/cooling etc? I am aware that big block stuff had issues on occasion when used in industrial apps. Are there any reasons why this would not make a decent...
