X-2 ! Er, ah...but not the 160mph thing!!!

The 'things' stated and the way stated are unpersuasive and in some areas, not logical ! For example...'keep A stock , with A engine...then put B head and internals /whatever on/in A block'. Like putting oil pressure system in an A block to try copying B block system that Ford put in. How is that keeping it stock ? Like 'restoring' an A with dozens of mods ..even hidden from judges, of course. Like curising down the freeway at 65 with Mitchell etc,etc...

We can agree that some of us have negative experiences with some things mechanical, and some have great experiences with same things mechanical. To each his own and thank goodness for differences !

HEY TOD...where are you ?? Save us B block condemned few with promised land five main five bearing cam , crack free B
blocks !!

BTW: If any of you want a guaranteed crack free A block and have one of those dastardly B blocks to trade..please PM me !
