  1. Ford people know what they have! Every time I go to a race event you will see 20 Chevy's 10 Dodge, an 5 Fords, an somehow Ford ends up on top, or at least on the podium! I would love to drop that in a smart car! lol

  2. Ported heads but not polished. So job only half done. There I is no point to port without polishing. Now with direct injecting fuel injection, port and polish are useless!

  3. Awesome…… Hell yeah buddy……… Greetings from india๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿค ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿค˜๐Ÿป๐Ÿ™Œ

  4. Hey Mike and Pat, did either of you know that the foot in foot pounds never changes? It should be foot pounds because of how torque is measured. At the time it was first used, which was possibly in the late 1800, the dominant beast of burden was the horse. They had a contraption that allowed an animal or engine to lift a weight. At one end of a thick rod was another one rod that was a foot in length. This was elevated from the ground. At the end of that was possibly a chain that would be attached to the weight. Do either of you know what a yoke is for an animal? It's what goes around the neck of the animal. It would be a different arrangement for an engine or an electric motor. That horizontal bar possibly had two or more bearing, which could be placed in what could be a framing for a swing. When that horse was attached to those straps and started moving forward, it would twist the horizontal tube and will additionally twist the one foot rod at the other end of it. This would allow the weight to come off the ground. That weight will determine how much twist or torque that animal had. How would they be doing that with an engine? Most of them had standard transmissions. They wouldn't use it, though. They would use the clutch instead. What would it be attached to? A flange that would act as the friction disk of the clutch. That flange would be bolted to the other flange, which would be at one end of the horizontal tube, which would have tge one foot rod at the other end of it, with the chain attached to it for the weight. That's how they, at that time, determine how much torque or twist that engine had. As you exceedingly well know, people use a dynamometer to test for horsepower and torque. Don't ask me, don't know that answer. Perhaps you could ask Google that question. It would possibly have an answer for that question. That's the reason why it should be called foot pounds of torque instead of pounds feet. No, that foot will never change.
