Yes I am, I have many years experience as a mechanic and having my own shade tree shop, and passing various mechanic related courses, not to mention 15 years of drag racing, and being a heavy equipment diesel mechanic. Mechanics are not just people that decide to become one one day, they are mechanically inclined to start with and eat and breathe mechanics daily. I attended automatic transmission school in San Francisco, the General Motors mechanics training center, 3 years of auto shop in high school, 2 years of courses on mechanics at junior college night school. I'm not your average office worker that peers out of a cubicle at the black and white clock on the wall.....lol

What took so long to just say yes? Sheesh.
So, with your GM training, and drag racing experience, what would the best choice in stock heads for a streetable MIV BB that see's the track once in a while? This is an old iron question you should know.

That said-I dont have a clue what makes them work, or how to fix them. I will admit I'm no expert, even with said training.
Maybe if you weren't so condescending with your posts, the amount of drama in a (what should be informative & entertaining) Ford Truck forum would be cut 90%. I'd would also submit, a good percantage of threads wouldnt get locked on account of the immature bickering. And maybe, just maybe: a few others might just chime in.
Are you an expert? Perhaps you are out standing in your field. Attitude makes the difference, young man.

I've spent 3x that studying women. I've attended courses (My Dad was a pretty sharp guy) subscribed to, uhm well, a few magazines & I still read the covers when at the checkout line.

Not condescending but I don't like people always doubting me that don't know what they are talking about, and yes I know the value of attitude. If you don't like drama, don't dramatize me.

Very subjective, you telling us "know nothings" your resume that's fine, keep it up you will win no more friends.
Let's keep it real for just a minute...
both Chris and I have given you credit (and reps) for your many technical insights. But you continue to "cry wolf" in spite of our accolades.
Using your logic; I have been a father for 27 years and I know everything about parenting.
In reality:
The only people that can answer that are my two kids and wife.
Whenever you are questioned you have a tendency to resort to 'ad hominem' attacks and character assassination.
Brent, you have a lot to offer but your attitude ????
