Don passed on the first RAV4 in San Clemente on Sunday, bought another on Tuesday in Upland.

He had a list of Pick 'n Pulls he was planning on stopping by on the way back to WA. I glanced at the list, hmmm Modesto, off hwy 99.

Never mentioned a word about stopping in artichokeville, which is a fair piece from Modesto, maybe his brain was on the fritz.

Give Mike a call at Big M Automotive in Williams. Mike builds destruction derby cars, has a whole mess of Fords in his yard.

But do not buy a 390 from anything prior to 1965. And if you do buy a 390, verify it is by measuring the stroke (3.78").

On sale day, 352/360 engines magically become 390's!
