I am not easily shocked. just tell me in a short sentence or two.
Each of the big had an overbuilt inline 6. Dodge had the Slant 6 and Ford had the 250 CI and 300 CI inline 6. In Australia Ford went high performance with the inline 6 by putting direct fuel injection and turbocharging them. A turbo 6 Ute from the factory would out perform an American Mustang GT with a V8.
Ford also had the 240 engine, it was just as reliable as the 300.
Showing one Ford product after another in a video purportedly focused on a GM engine certainly does nothing to encourage views. Take me, for example: I couldn’t make it 1/2 way through.
I made it to the 3 minute mark, the more he tried to present the information with a knowledgeable voice, the more he showed himself as condescending. At least to my view. He sounds like the narrator for that old show, unsolved mysteries. Gag.
Grog, I believe the voice is AI-synthesized and not a natural person.
Yep. That’s why it says “Two Nine Two” instead of “Two Ninety-Two”.
Thank you, Jim, that explains the weirdness.
Thank you, that explains the weirdness.
Thank you Ima. That also explains the repeated “The answer might shock you”, which had me drop 1/3 of the way thru. I get tired of listening to ChatGPT repeat itself endlessly.
That could have been a 1 minute video, assuming it ever got to the point.
I had a ’64 Suburban with the 292 engine and four-speed transmission, all stock as far as I know, and the torque that thing put out was astonishing. The windshield had several Meskin Departmento de Turismo stickers and three Alcan Highway decals, very cool and I should never have sold it.
I have seen several of these engines in the wild . Many out lasted the hour meters on them . Wood chippers,combines , portable power units , sawmill s . All they needed were oil changes and clean gas.. curious how many performance parts are at swap meets?
AI generated narration and continuously showing a Ford 6 when it’s supposed to be a bout a GM 6. This video is worthless.
my Dad had a 292 in his 68 chevy C-20 pickup. I rebuilt the engine for him in 75
or 76. I forget now. but I did a great job on it. had it balanced and hand fitted all the rings. with the pistons in, I could spin that by hand and it just flew.
after it was all put back together in his truck, he couldn’t believe how well it ran.
got close to 20mpg even. the rear gears where 4.11 I think.
he told me later on he never had the truck over 80. but after I worked on it
he ran it up to 100mph and it still wanted to go he said.
he asked his brother to sell it in 1989 for him. he never did. he ran it into the ground instead. never changed the oil or anything else. he just drove it.
I hated him for what he did to that truck. I wanted it. but that was never going to happen I knew.
Hearing that story, I have a serious dislike for the S-O-B too, and I don’t even know him.
oh, he was a real asshole. but my dad was close to him.
I guess because they got into trouble together or something.
always had new shotguns or rifles and trucks.
but no indoor plumbing. he had a outhouse. 1960-90’s
and after the wind blew it over, he leaned on a fence post ?
yeah. a real asshole
only got it installed inside after HIS wife brother died and left HER some money. yeah. she paid to it done.
he didn’t care. in the winter he would show up at someone house with towel and soap wanting to use the shower ?
everyone of his kids moved away from home as soon as they could.
A friend of mine had a 292 in a ’67 Camaro. 4-speed, Posi rear axle, Clifford headers ( 6=8! ), Offy intake, and a 600 cfm vacuum secondary Holley carb.
Good God that thing ran like stink! He’d put down SS 350 cars all the time.
And I agree about the video. Poorly made, with little factual value.
I got a 292 but its the Y block in my 61 F-100,sorry.
The good old Aussie 202 red motor is eerily similar. 3.3L nominal, but I have a “friend” who, er….., well, “repaired” one to {classified} north of 4.5L. Still bulletproof, could plait a driveshaft or travel time through spinning the planet under it. Next problem after making pretzels of drivetrains and diffs and chassis was HEAT. The Torana XU/1 slaughtered the V8’s until they shifted the goalposts and strangled logistics, and then by the same methods they murdered the Nissan Skyline, also a straight six. Straight, as in inline, not not-gay…though there may be something in that too, considering the cheek-clenching lying inherent to those types blind to truth.
Next up, the Wankel motor. Consider exhaust-turbo AND crank-compressor aspiration at the same time into a motor 1/3 the weight of an otto-stroker, and rpm range comfortably double the piston pumpers. Triple rotor 20B Cosmo motor, for instance…
We have been robbed.
So he says, it’s still GM and I gave them 10 years of my life saluting the general every weekday and some Saturdays. Roger Smith was a bean counter and damn near run ‘em into the ground. Thank God for the japenese
