This year the media will name it the Saharan Death Cloud and deem it able to kill a man with only 5 min of exposure.

Also with enough dust, it could cause electricity and people will think it's the end of days.

This is simultaneously a very interesting write-up while also being a good example of something I'm sure most of us would be too lazy to do:

5 engines and 2 transmissions is still cheaper and less headache than the LS. There are very few members that have done the LS swap to a factory-like completion and not regretted it. Or sold them off soon after. Both DustinS and Sportguy83 have stated that they wished they stuck with the FA20 after years of working out the kinks on the LS swap. It may not be the fastest but, time behind the wheel > time spent working on them. I've only ever considered swapping in a FA24d, flat 6 EZ30 or the Synergy V8. I tend to be one of the 'engine purists' hailing back from my day with rotary engines. So unless it is in the same family originally spec'd or a truly unique engine (hence the Jun/Synergy swap,) that it was never an option. My goal for MR.Blue is back to a running state, and then off to be sold or traded in. I'm happy with the tS enough to keep it instead.

But, thanks for sharing your thoughts - Yep, back-in-the-day, I did an LS swap (well sorta - it was a 283 cu in Chev V-8) into a 1956 Ford F-100. It slipped right in with the hep of an a-dapter kit and some home made motor mounts. Oh yes, like the one in the picture, it was painted red and had chromed reversed rims. - NO, REALLY! |

Put some Super Blue on the blade. Made an interesting color. Close to gunmetal than black. I’ll be doing more coating later.
... but for now, yes you’re seeing it correctly lol |
