ArdWrknTrk Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 In fact, each time I drive Big Bro on a highway, I am wondering about what Bullnose engine needs a 6000rpm tach. Really? Certainly the 5.0 doesn't make any power unless you wring it's neck. 💡 I imagine the 2V 351 is pretty gutless as well. The H.O. is trying to get there and the 460 is about right for a truck, doing truck stuff. The only reason I can see for a Windsor in a pickup is to provide an economical (cheap to produce) power plant that can help the average fuel economy numbers and work for all the people that don't ever 'need' a truck, but drive one anyhow, because it supports their ego. (and we're back to my brother's mid-life BMW! ) But the 300 has torque, and is smooth. It is ideal for economy and lightweight jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
