    fudge that. They just need to up their displacements accordingly with GM. It's big, it's heavy, it isn't super efficient, and it's super expensive to manufacture. The other problem is they just didn't keep to plans very well in the whole "mod" portion of it. Technologically it smokes the LS and Hemi's but nothing about it makes it easy to swap into another vehicle. Personally I think pushrods are a joke. It is big, compared to iron blocked-engines it's not heavy at all. Hell, the only real "heavy" mod motors are the DOHC engines, but of course, they have more material. Nothing is super-efficient from the factory, and I don't know how you consider 281 cubic inches pushing 300+HP and 300lb.FT. on pump gas and getting economy in the mid 20s not efficient. Contrary to what you may thing, Ford's modular engine family is the cheapest OHC engine family currently being produced. It's very easy to swap into other vehicles, but it's not a small-block chevy. Dammit, my battery is dying. It is way bigger than a 460 though and heavier. I know we had this conversation before, but everywhere I look has those things outweighing an old BBF. And they are so wide that retrofitting them into any old car with shock mounts isn't easy. As for the efficiency problem what I don't understand is why my crap Chevy gets 18.5mpg with more power than my buddies Ford who gets 15mpg. I also read that the build costs are more than the BM'er V8's which is nuts. I do believe the answer is modular as well as OHC but I think it needs a little reworking to get there. Personally I'd like to see it in rpm's and breathing and not cubes, but would love it if they did something. i've always wondered why the american automotive industry has produced so many engines with 2 valves/cylinder when most manufactures switched to 4.

    i've got what you want should i make a torrent ? or send some samples via email ? I would love anything you have. I think there is at least another 70 gig of space on my CPU HD, and 18 gig on my iPod. i just need to burn some cd's with cartoons and try to download a few flash games. then i'll create a torrent with some samples so i'd know what to send I have two gmail accounts we could fill up. Not to mention I also have the [email protected] email, but never use it. shoot me a pm with the email gmail account. i hope my net will move fast.

    wait, you bribe your customs officer with cartoons? well, i have to get around the fees... I'm just saying it's a tad peculiar that you can bribe government officials with something like cartoons. Perhaps a trip to the Eastern block would enlighten you a bit. I got "caught" doing a bunch of things that were pretty easy to get out of. I guess when something is contraband there, but we can get it so easily, it can be used for a bribe, even if it is something as silly as cartoons it's not contraband most of the people here are computer challenged and most of those that know some things about computers haven't heard about torrents is it not available locally though? i think there are cartoons available in shops. but most of the people still try other options before buying.
