So, my ex's bf asks me why I drive a bitch car. I say 'cause it wasn't my fault, and I might get a new car soon. If not, I had big plans for it.
He asked me what, so I said,
"I might swap it for a 302, or a 351 shortblock, and a T56."
"You can't do that. The earliest model for the 5.0 was 93 [Which it's actually 94], and even then, the harness wouldn't fit for anything bigger than that."
"Well, why would I stick with a stock ECU when that shit is ineffecient? I'd do a complete ECU swap regardless of what block I choose."
"You can't do that-- besides, the V6 has 7.5" rear ends and anything over your pos 232. Go do some more research, then talk to me."
I started to laugh and he got all defensive like, "What?! WHAT?!"
I told him that it's completely possible, and if I was gunna tell him EVERY THING I wanted to do, it'd be useless, not to mention most people don't know shit about cars. If I chose a 351, I'd have to re-weld the pan holder, not to mention probably the engine mounts and I'd have to move a lot of stuff, such as the battery and the works to the back to make room for the big ass 351. I'd have to remount the radiator to allow more room, get a custom hood to fit the massiveness that is under my hood not to mention a complete suspension upgrade and brake upgrade to allow for the bohemoth to be unleashed with out fear.
He's like, "Nope. You can't do that. I work at a shop where we do 5.0l race cars!" Blah blah blah.
I lol'd... 'cause he's a silly noob.
And that's my story.
Summary: Even people at "professional shops" are dumb as nails. :laugh: :bigthumbu
