Mid Michigan | We actually had a 351 M in our 1978 Ford Ltd II that my parents bought brand new. It is still parked out behind my dads garage. He quit driving it with 345,000 miles on it with no rebuilds. It had power comparable with anything else at the time from any of the other manufacturers. The engine never had the heads off it. I don't think I know very many engines short of a semi truck that can log that kind of miles even now. Couldn't have been that bad! I have a 5.4 in my Ford Suv that will never make that many miles. The Bus I am talking about with the international diesel is my neighbors bus. He said it is the most gutless engine he has ever driven and the bus will not handle hills very well on the highway. It has low miles on it and he uses it as a recreational vehicle. Everybody has different experiences with things and to each his own. I was just trying to give the guy a suggestion on how to get his grain truck running. Not to have a debate about engines with you. | |
