Like i said before, If anyone is TRULY interested I have tons of info on these engines.I have had and built several of these engines in ford four wheel drives, I just put that info to show there was other opinions on the matter, I have learned through experience not to argue with anyone without written documentation to back it up. especially people who know everything. And I'm also aware that all info coming from books be it sa design or what ever. may or may not be accurate, But Ive heard more inaccuracies come from a mouth than i have saw in books. P.S. thanks for cleaning the image up.
I was just pointing out that not all "written documentation" is worth more than TP. If I was trying to prove the point you were making, I would have used credible papers. Not everything written is true. Also, when it comes to info, there are no "opinions", just facts. In the opinion of the SA Designs book there, the 70 model 'M code' 351c has 10.5:1 compression, but in fact it was 11:1. In the opinion of that page, there was a 68 351c... I can go on and on, but you get my point. Nothing personal, just your choice of "service manual" is in question. Dave
