I only run motorcraft in my 7.3.. I've heard other filters "don't agree" with most ford engines. From a 20 year warranty supervisor at ford.
Turns out the motorcraft is a purolator pure 1. Their top of the line offering. They rebadge it for motorcraft and its cheaper. Same exact thing. The purolator pure 1 is even rated just ahead of mobil1 filter. Which is pretty hard to do
 
Odds n Ends man
I know most dont give 2 shits about stuff like this. Its a steroid board full of dudes who shave their legso_O

Speaking of shaving... during WW2 razor sales were plummeting in the US since most males were off fighting the good fight. In an attempt to get women to start buying their razors, razor companies started using women with shaved legs to model in their ads. It picked up quickly and now women by more razors than men.


Also, prostitution was legal up until WW2. A brothel in France was raided by Nazi's, and all the women were raped and killed. In response to this a number of countries made prostitution illegal and closed down all the brothels.
 
@gr8whitetrukker any experience with the 6.2 ford? Came in the superduty since 11 also in the raptor and certain f150 models. Single overhead cam dual plugs per cylinder 400hp 400ftlbs in stock trim (depending on what it comes out of) and it basically bolts in where any other mod motor (4.6 5.4) would. Doesn't have a forged crank but at half the cost of a salvage yard 5.0 I could really do some damage. Some raptor guys are running 10lbs of boost on stock internals making just north of 700hp:eek: and junkyards got em stacked up:eek:found one with 30k miles for $1400 said hed throw in harness, ecm and accessories for another 200:p. I think it'd be a good little(big) motor for my foxbody.

Ecoboost vs 6.2 vs 5.0 HP and Torque

I like the 6.2L from Ford...Alot. Iron block and a single OHC makes it old school. All 6.2L made by Ford are nick'd "Boss" but rarely used in marketing. And all of them will be truck engines. Which makes them less ideal for racing purposes due to alot of reasons. That big ass iron block certainly not the least of which. But why not an ecoboost?
They rule everything. More torque, earlier in the RPM range and a broader band.
The new ecoboosts available in 2017 come with 470lb ft tq which makes them the most powerful engine available in a stock half ton pickup...EVER!

Well trukk cause Merica damnit why would I want a v6 when I could have a v8;) far as weight goes they're not that bad of course the ecoboost is lighter but it's at the top of its ability in stock trim. I know some ford techs that are tired of working on them:p and the 5.0 is crazy fuckin 4k for a 75k mile engine:eek:

4K? Damn, that is a lot. Full long block and tranny with all modules etc?

God I hope so. Didn't even call to check. 6.2 seems more along my budget.lol the 6.2 isn't as wide as the 5.0 so no strut tower modifications, I can just buy a k member for a 4.6 and it'll bolt right in so no or little welding.

The 3.5 ecoboost was boosted to 450hp & 510 lb ft tq for the raptor. All available in stock form and still more torque and hp earlier in the rpm range.

It'd definitely be cool but looks like it's going to be 3grand for a salvage motor with turbos:eek: and then theirs fitment issues, custom mounts and limited amount of trans options.
 
Car. Truck has different cams and doesn't have the forged crank.:( truck 5.0 are around 3grand lowest one I found with decent millage was $2,700.
The new 5.0 is coooool. Ford is on a roll

Prolly oughta get the stone age 6.2 then:D
While were at it look for a 6.8 v10. I know there out thereo_O
 
Get a predigital Mercedes V12. Pre 96 I think. And a set of headers with crossover pipes. Simply divine sound, you'll practically cream your pants.
Heard.
Not a car guy. Definitely not a Mercedes guy

I like miller light and 'Merican horsepower. :cool:
Jus what i like:D
