A legend to the old man, a hero to the child...
A 460 is just as good, and well ahead of any pickup diesel (besides maybe a 24 valve) of the same era.

My credo
I poop in the furnace.
I worked on the tokamak plasma fusion reactor at princeton plasma physics lab a while back. And by that I mean I essentially just welded railings on the scaffolding around it. ? But it was still cool to work there. It's a great theoretical power source but I still don't believe they've crossed the threshold of actually getting more power out of it than it takes to run it. But if I were putting money into a future power source that would be it. No radioactive material needed, self sustaining, essentially unlimited power, only a minor chance of setting the earth's atmosphere on fire. The only major byproduct is helium which is harmless and fun at parties. I'd drive around in a car with a fusion reactor powered motor.

I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!

Sounds like it’s worth chancing the whole “set the atmosphere on fire” thing.

Era.....??


There's twice as many psd,s on the road as big blocks of that era.

More living then Cummins too.

That's a trick but true and an unfair statement.


But to be sure
You are a fawking moron if you drive more then 30-40k miles a year and tow those with any gas engine.


Your a total fawkin moron if you drive 5 to 10 k a year and buy a diesel...

So hell yeah....big block has its place.

Just not in my life. Bad enough I waste my life driving.....4 or 5 k or more for gas in a year is just another kick in the balls.
