Printed!

 

Thanks for the great info... 4.2 all the way

 

Interesting....

 

I didn't know there was so much 4.2 pride.

 

Haha, next time someone gives me crap about their V8 I'm going to be like: "My huge azz pistons DWARF your tiny ones!"

 

I have nothing against V6's but I will nevr own one... nothin EVER will replace the way a V8 sounds with dual exhuast... the best mod ever invented

 

You should also research and post the numbers for the old 4.9, 5.0, and 5.8........

 

True. I shall do that. Thanks for the idea glc! I will do that over lunch.

I'm going to do the 351W as well. Should I put the Triton V10 as well? Lol


I thought about including the L and HD, but decided it would ruin everything.

 

love my 4.2 thanks man.

i wish i had a truck with the old 4.9L inline 6 haha that was a beast of a 6cyl. my dad had it in the truck he had before mine.

 

Same here. My dad had an '89 2wd Single cab w/ a 4.9 rolling on 33's. He said he could spin the tires from a stop. I need to find that old pic as well as their old Maroon '79 on 33's.

 

I have to agree with truckguy..

although i have nothing against the 4.2 .. i will never own one.. I just love the sound of my v8 too much more...

 

I will even agree with both of you on that. But there's nothing more suprising than a whistle or whine coming from a 4.2 either.

7.3 Powerstrokes sound awesome too!

 

just because you are biased to both
