To keep it from happening again simply remove old posts, should be easy for you computer guys
2011, then your post today.
Dude hasn’t been here since 2014 and you’re still responding?
So it wasn’t you, but we should delete all the old posts so you don’t accidentally bring back an 11 year old post again?
Uh-huh.
Perhaps you should learn some basic computer skills before asking people to do something much more involved than, I don’t know, checking the date on a thread before you respond?
There’s a lot of older threads here that have GREAT information, there’s no reason to delete them. Normal etiquette for responding to an ancient thread is saying something like “I know this is an old thread but I have the same issue/question and…” , vs just responding with meaningless commentary like the member you’re responding to didn’t post 11 years ago.

360 Magnum, heads (that flow around 210 cfm) drilled for LA intake, oil passage drilled if not done by the factory, factory hydraulic roller cam set up, superior pan and valve cover gaskets, factory hypereutetic pistons at (9:1 compression) etc etc, many engines after 100k miles still have the cross hatch hone marks, etc,
I was very impressed by another members post the he worked at a dealership during the "cash for clunkers" period where the government required the destruction of engines by pouring a solution into the engines especially designed to quickly destroy the engine. IIRC his post, the Magnum engines exceed the run time by far of other engines that were destroyed
Best part, still cheap and plentiful, saw a complete running engine here with acessories and brackets for $400

Ask Dan “the” Man
I'll kill this thing. Dan the Man definitely would make an excellent career Democrat. "I didn't do it!"
Dan the Man made the revival post (& then denied it, LMFAO!)

I looked back at the OP and I'm the dummy that restarted it. It's obvious that I shouldn't be on my phone at 1 AM when I'm so tired. I apologize to everybody on me messing this up

I thought it was funny and not for nothin Dan, it’s all good. If you notice, we all pull each others chains when an old thread resurfaces.
It’s still relevant and a good read.

Actually, all of you guys on here are great people. I just need to learn not to take things so seriously. I also need to accept things for what they are, example if door panels are $500 that's just how it is, best thing for me would be to either buy them or ask you all if you know of a better deal. But at this time I don't need any interior parts. Thanks rumblefish360 for everything.

Or do like a lot of us and make your own. That's what sets Mopar guys apart from other "car guys" in my opinion.
Since this thread keeps going and people aren't reading that it's from eleven years ago, I'm gonna quote myself and say that I still agree with me.

Sorry, I accidentally got it going again. I wasn't paying attention to the date on it, now I double check the posting date.Since this thread keeps going and people aren't reading that it's from eleven years ago, I'm gonna quote myself and say that I still agree with me.
It’s really not that big of a deal

That's for sure. I watch bitchin rides and iron resurrection,etc and those guys usually put a LS in the build as it's suppose to be the best bang for the buck. I don't follow the newer stuff, but does Ford have anything else besides the 5.0 for performance? Mopar has the hemi. GM has several different displacements of the LS, correct?
There's is a bunch but cheap and easy ones to get are 4.8 and 5.3 which is 292 and 325
Same bore head cam intake just different stroke, with the right cam can get you in the high 400 hp easily, it's basically if 273/318 came with ported eddy heads stock, ford is all over head cam engines.

It don't take much look at 80/90 5.0l they were the **** with a whopping 225 hp net which is probably 250-270 hp gross.
