68 F-100 4x4 Drivetrain decisions...

Future proof... My vote 7.3

That is definitely a consideration.

That's not a 7.3 Godzilla OR a FE motor.

Typical TRS thread drift.

Yeah, some people just can't take the hint. Probably be best to not engage, but with Rick, I've found that doesn't help. He means well though.

Come on @Rick W don't be upset. It's all said in good humor. Tone just doesn't carry well in written form, or maybe I just suck at it.

I know what’s going on, I knew you were kidding. BTW, I’ve been with me for 70 years. I know how I can be sometimes. Well, most of the time….

But the reason I was focusing on the squirrel cage blower, is because it’ll keep you cool while you’re working in your shop, and then when you figure out which engine you’re going to use and you get the truck almost done, you can put a 12 V starter motor on it and use it as a blower on top of your engine!

All is good

I'll see about picking up a can when the budget allows. Might take a while. A very, very long while.
