The 3.0 is a vulcan. Please dont taint the colonge family by including a turd.
Oh, I wasn't! I meant the perfumed 2.9 and 4.0 were the same. Neither of them are Vulcans - you know, "Live Long and Prosper"? :yahoo:

You know, I have four 2.9 valve covers.

Every damn one of them has a pinhole in the spark plug looms.

I put a set of the leakproof fel pro gaskets in.

Now they only leak out the tops.

Hell i bet if i knew someone who could rewire the harness that the mice helped themselves to rusty #1 would still fire up and run.....

And spank anything this side of a 4.0.

Id hazard to guess theres still alot more 2.9s running around then what yall think. But since this is (generally) an ethusiest (sp?) site factory pieces dont last long when theres "upgraded" factory pieces that basically bolt in. Out in the real world i see alot of BIIs and rangers boppin around with
Real world it is a woo hoo to even see a 2.9 era truck on the road without even popping the hood.

Mine gets a lot of stares in traffic. Mostly because it looks like it belongs to ISIS.
