What did you accomplish today?

Hard to kill a Ford in-line 6! They run with no oil in hot as hell conditions will do a head gasket at 350,000 though almost guaranteed (km’s). I’ve had a few falcons with 6’s and even my beaten up XF Falcon would get you there no dramas. I was the only one who could start it though lol choke was a prick and needed 10 mins to warm up
I think everyone’s first car should have a choke/carby (reaching for my dentures)
Barra motors are hot to trot around here, big turbo straight 6’s are super fun to drive sideways

You ever use a matchbook on your points? first cars are a blast, and I agree mandatory choke.

Its a new one and they just talk shit anyway as I had one years ago and did not want to deal with him or any CPN's as they cant change my mind as to what I'm doing to better myself. Fuck sitting in a room full of retards with worse issues than me. I shall be keeping it lean and always green. Thanks for asking.

I’m a big fan of inline sixes. What was wrong with the original motor?

Don't know, a standard swap is to a small block. It was in there when I bought it. The small block weighs less than the 6 and obviously has a bit more power.The 6 is good for torque though.

I don't have that problem, perhaps because I don't care?

You guys down under still have access to Ford 351 Cleveland motors if I am correct. Those are big blocks in a small block body. They can be built bigtime.

I have a dwell meter in the garage.

Sure do most of the V8 Fords are clevo’s everyone tends to stay away from the Windsor. In saying that there getting rarer and parts aren’t cheap these days.
My fav Aussie muscle car runs the Cleveland, if I only had a spare 500k I would get one

I threw mine out a few years back, I wasn’t sure if it was the right move but in the current climate I didn’t dwell on it very long.

Nah pretty sure Freightliner and Kenworth are in the same racket

I must admit my knowledge of these companies is weak at best

Me too to be frank, but a cursory Web search tells me that the straight-6 is still a big player in the heavy trucking market.

y’all are the folks with the road trains. Are the tractors significantly different (from ours)?

GM hasn't given up.
Hi-no, is a Japanese manufacturer of commercial vehicles and diesel engines (including those for trucks, buses and other vehicles) headquartered in Hino-shi, Tokyo. The company is a leading producer of medium and heavy-duty diesel trucks in Asia.[4]

Just might have one for a Landcruser.
