There is no spin to my statement. How many TV's do you own? Or electrical components ( aka computer, appliances, home theatre ) that are built by American companies?

Aren't you not buying these products and inturn sending profits to these foreign companies?

But I guess if you drive a Ford or Chevy truck that makes one more "patriotic".

Weak arguement at best.....

360: 1968/76 F100/350's only. The 360 was never installed in cars.

360: Same FE engine family as: 332/352/390/406/410/427/428..and the 1958 Edsel 361, where the E in FE comes from.

First off, your the one claiming that I'm a expert on the subject. ( whatever the subject is )

All you have done is danced around the legitimate questions I have asked of you which leads me to assume ( I hate that word ) that you don't have answers for any of them.

But feel free to comment on my patriotism and......

So to answer your question, I never have or did state that I am an expert on this subject.

You dream't that up all on your own. But please, do continue to sidetrack this thread.

(sigh)

Lets see, I've owned over 80 Ford products since 1956 including 9 purchased new; about 60 GM'ers; anudder 30 or so Chrysler products; around 60 some Packards; 40 some Studebakers; a smattering of British piles including Jag's, RR's, one Bentley; several krautmobiles = 3 Benz's, and a Horch (y'all know what a Horch is, right?); a coupla Alfala-Romeo's; a Citroen or two; and one each: Cord; Auburn; LaSalle; Marquette (another one y'all never heard of); Marmon; Stutz...oh, and one Nissan Titan, which is my current daily driver.

Am I being patriotic driving that pile? Sure, it's made in Mississippi!

btw: An "expert" is someone who skims thru one book and thinks he knows it all.

I'm no expert!
