Guilty as charged. Let me count the times........ Anyway, that is quite the project! Three years isn't too long. In fact, that's about right. But you are getting things done now. And, the price on the engine is really good. Obviously you'll have a rebuild kit to buy, but the other work is cheap. Where in Alabama, Rob?

Welcome! I used to live in Powder Springs [west Cobb county].

Injectors may have been improved [?]. But, according to a Ford Engine Development Engineer, injectors were being warranted too much. Much experimental work was done to better this engine, but the decision to redesign the truck with a shorter engine bay was one nail in the coffin. Others have mentioned emissions.

One of the reasons Ford developed the crossflow head for the 4.9L was a warranty issue. The fuel injectors were exposed to heat soak, since located above the exhaust manifolds, when the engine was cut off. A temporary fix was a cooling fan blowing across the injectors and continuing to run after the engine was cut off. There were other prototypes as well [variable displacement and turbo].

Yes, I could, but then we could not converse and catch up with what's happening. You can drive and try to exceed the former test results while carrying extra weight [my friend and me].

Ford woodgrain horn pads [followed by 1980, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986] I have found that I have better results listing the dates one by one.

It was used in the refining process. It was handled in a fume box. It was very slippery, so if any got on the glass bottles, it made for a dangerous situation.

I worked in several laboratories for a well known company's refinery and chemical plant. I remember reaching into the cabinet for Oleum with all safety personal protective equipment on. The bottle was heavy [very dense] and when the top was removed, vapor [sulfuric acid] immediately came out. Industrial work can be dangerous as has already been pointed out.

Here is an idea, Gary. In the past, you and I drove the "loop" for gas mileage. You commented, at that time, that my truck was at a disadvantage due to me following and having to catch up with the lead truck. This year, let's you and I take my truck and fill up at Mr. Bass's and you drive the whole way [i'll enjoy the scenery]. Back to the "fillin" station and see what the mileage is? It will only take a little over an hour and I can arrive early.

Hmmmm… that's deep, Jim.
