That was HUGE???

Less than 1/3 size of other one.

SECOND request, oh, now I've gone and done it.

Beginning to sound like threat now...................

"So we can breathe" ????

I hope you don't take it personal if I have a little chuckle over that one. Sorry about the ADD there boys. I was wasting too much time here anyway. Before I go, I was going to tell how to rebuild old belt tensioners for as little as $3 that last as long as the Ford part. How about entire automatic trans assembly that will last forever without buying any of the "special tools required". My tools to measure all including the cases and gearshaft preload cost maybe $10 bucks. I've lined up 150 mph race car front ends with stout string and a 6 inch level, can also do all 4 wheels. Have NEVER paid anyone to line up a front end on my cars, much less any thing else. I have done ALL my own maintenance and major rebuild including manual and automatic transmissions with 100 % good results, they all lasted years. I just repaired my Focus wagon that was in accident. $5000+ damage estimate, it cost me $600 including windshield to do it. Car runs as before accident, perfect. I have built pro stock engines (Camaro) that were 720+ cu.in., 3 stage nitrous, that ran over 200 mph 1/4 mile. Held world record fastest prostock in the world for awhile. Dynoed 1200 hp. until nitrous hit, then bottomed dyno which only went to 1500. American Motors AMX in mid '70s, 395 inch motors that would outpull most 454 big block Chevrolet in high gear, 9.80s @ 140 mph. Single 4 bbl. full weight street AMX 401 with only 8.4/1 compression that ran 11.80s 1/4, ran 10.70s @ 130 with only a cam change. All carbed, no FI, no puff, pro motor only one with N2O. There's more but I have to go, I gotta rebuild my hand grinder so I can port some heads. Forgot to mention that, do all my own head porting. Tonight it's an ultrarare set of Boss 302 heads, car (305 inch, '70 Boss Mustang) runs high 10s 1/4, not fast enough. I may not understand torque, but like I said, my ideas work just fine in my world. Sorry about the last big block of text, I couldn't help myself. It was a stupid rule anyway. Later gentlemen.
