    Gobeckli Tepe update..

    Ghostrider, if you give consideration to the works of Zecharia Sitchen, your statement makes a lot of sense; even offers a "why" go through all that trouble to build such an elaborate complex. Key words: Marduke, interplanetary interactions, massive and immediate polar shifts, "Noah's" Flood.

    Any Jeep folks here?

    I'm getting 60 PSI at idle with my 4.6 stroker and Melling stock oil pump. (60-ish miles on the engine so far.)

    Any Jeep folks here?

    I have the 12-hole Ford units marketed for 4.0 upgrades. From memory, they flow about 2 lbs/hr more than stock. Compression is 10.5:1. I loaded it with 91 octane before the swap -- just for safety's sake -- and haven't driven it much beyond the break-in.

    And the stroker is installed. Holy clydesdales does this thing ever pull... up to about 3800 RPM. It's like the stock 4.0 with about 5-6 Psi of boost.

    I bought the crank (new), pistons, rings, & bearings from Scat. I reused the 4.0 rods. There are a few stroker combos that have worked; some using 4.0 rods, some 4.2 rods, different pistons, some with new crank, some with resurfaced 4.2 used stuff. Check out Jeep Strokers - Homepage

    Surely not an A body on fbbo!!!

    I've seen where classy cars with totally rusted undercarriage were sat on 4X4 truck chassis. Gives you a full frame and fresh suspension with minimal work and money. Mike from NY had a '72 he put on a Ramcharger chassis. Met him at Carlisle probably 25 years ago.

    They Just Do Not Make Them Like They Used To...

    Since you mentioned Ford, I know from professional research that in 2008 Ford ranked 21st out of 23 OEM manufacturers selling vehicles in the US as far as Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) -- they sucked!! In 2010 they somehow managed to rise to #2. My friend (a mobile mechanic) has a 2018...
