for the compliments and no I rarely read the other FE forums. I have and there's always excellent info on the two that I did watch for awhile. The problem is time. I work full time, I have a '60 Sunliner HP352 in the shop that is in its fifth year of resto. The resto should have taken two years or less. But I'm not going to beat myself up for taking too long. It's a classic labor-of-love that's getting done at my snail's pace.
So I had to choose one forum to "watch" on a farily irregular basis and it's this one. I don't know exactly why....I just like reading many of the contributors who regularly post here. They know their stuff and I learn from them too.
As for the 13.2 Subaru - I can believe it really. It's obvious that technology is advancing rapidly providing tremendous power in small internal combustion packages. Time is flying by. The day of the large inch asphalt ripping American V-8 has past. We're in the resto/collector stage. Prices are up. Demand for the rare & odd is up. But in reality look what is being done with a 5.4 Ford mod in the Lightening. A good friend bought one a couple of years ago and I had the pleasure of going for a county road spin. There are days when I consider "finishing-up" the '60 quickly and selling it to turn around and lay down $30K for a mid 13's Ford screamer.
And then I start thinking about that '68 -S- code GT 'stang down the road just collecting dust in a neighbor's garage. We've "talked" and he isn't saying know to my standing offer but he hasn't said yes either. It's the classic "Bullitt Green", black interior, 4 speed that would be the perfect car for my 433" .030 over, cross-bolted C6ME 428......
