In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
WTF? You got some advice and compliments on your build. There’s 4 pages of thread here showing that we paid attention and are watching your thread. But we’re not going to do the build for you.

Go have fun, dude. Hope your build goes well.

What a knob. His one question about backspacing got answered and he bounces. Probably a snow flake in real life.

I believe Dirtman was being a bit facetious or sarcastic. Let's keep things civil.

listen guys, I don't feel like things need to be taken to a level where I need to be called a knob or a snow flake lol. im a civil fella. but feel as this forum is pretty biased on fords only. and the fact im building a ford with a gm power plant thats kinda looked down on in this little community. I consider my build pretty cool and I try to post lots of progress posts and dont seem to get much feedback. thats all. if I was building a prerunner with a carbed 302 things would be diff. but thats been done 10000000000 times... who wants to keep walking in the same shoes. ill continue to post progress pics for the few guys who wanna see my project push on. as far as the knobs and the snow flakes, takes one to know one sir

trust me. I’ve gotten my fair share of razzing for building 2 rangers with small block chevys. Best thing I can tell you. Look past the razzing comments. And hang in for the ones that know there shit. Lots of knowledgeable members on here. @bobbywalter and I banter back and forth all the time. But he’s one of the go to guys I’ll ask a question to.

As far as dirtman goes. He’s kinda like the class clown. More of a class-hole if you will. He keeps the class entertained while the teachers ramble on about schooling the new guys about how 2.9s are a terrible engine.

I honestly have no idea what "facetious" means... i was 100% being a dick to someone who just insulted us all.

Not one person questioned you putting a LS motor in a ranger in the only thread you started about your build on this forum...

First you say we were uncommunicative, now its cause we insulted your truck...

Dont go away angry. Just go away.
