HA yeah she definitely would if I had a wife...

The girlfriend would definitely agree with the statement and might even have something to add to it...

Anyone know much about the Ford 7.8L diesel? Can't find a whole lot of useful info on them. Although most people agree they're underpowered but will run forever

Man, I'm going to be spending some time swapping my Camaro's 305 with a 350 sitting in my garage, but I have to wait to get my Bronco up and running again before I can pull the Camaro's motor. This means I have to pull the Bronco's motor to throw in a good used one (I hope the one I pick up Saturday is good! It's hard to tell in a wrecked truck with the PCM sold.)

This has me getting more excited for my inevitable swap... I could pick up the wiring harness off the wrecked 250 when I pull the motor, get one of my two bad IDMs rebuilt, and pick up a PCM. I'd then have another whole powerstroke setup waiting to be transplanted (after my Bronco's current motor is rebuilt). My camaro is looking in dire need of a helpless, homeless powerstroke motor.

Anyways I'm stalling myself. I better get to either grinding down valve spring retainers on the 350 motor, or pulling my Bronco's front end apart so I can yank of the low compression motor!
