Why GM went bankrupt Reply #30 – September 26, 2012, 09:32:36 PM Tom, it's not a thing personal, and it's not the fact that you're a Chevy guy...hey, I've got a couple of Chevies...as to whether they have better engines or not..well, neither of them run, while my Fords all start. (Except the Mustang, but we'll forgive it as it's a 2.3)If you talked about pringles chips in every post, and not the LS, it would be the same response from me: if I want pringles, I'll go get some of my own, lol.Carry on :) Quote Selected
Why GM went bankrupt Reply #31 – September 26, 2012, 10:19:09 PM I really don't do forums much till now. I went to another one and started asking questions about my "86" Cougar. I had a guy who said that he like my year car and went on to help me with my problem. That's when it dawned on me that the forum was for "Classic Cougars". Nobody EVER said "go away", "you shouldn't be here",... nothing. If they did answer me it was to help and it was in a respectful manner. I REALLY wish I did own an old classic Cougar, they are very nice cars! I do have a "57" Oldsmobile that I haven't really even started to work on yet. It's my FAVORITE car and it does not even run. It needs everything!! It needs paint, chrome, window or two, wiring harness, fluids, rebuilt everything, on and on. I doubt that I would come here to ask you guy's about fixing it, not because you wouldn't know how, but because it's an OLDSMOBILE. From what I understand, this is the "Lounge", Your place to sit back, relax, and discuss whatever you feel like...but KEEP IT CLEAN! So, now you know I own an Oldsmobile (painful as that may be).(lol) Quote Selected
Why GM went bankrupt Reply #32 – September 26, 2012, 10:32:18 PM This will be my only post on this thread.Tom, I am sorry, but you struck a nerve on one of your previous posts. You said Ford did not understand that engines are nothing but air pumps. Just a little history for you. Ford has built the best vehicles of all time. Ford may not always have the most power, however, at least their stuff will stay together. To look inside a GM engine, you will find undersized bolts and at times too few of bolts. Funny how Chevy guys all look for 4 bolt mains. If their mains had big enough bolts to begin with, they would not need 4 of them. Yes, LS engines are great. It's about time. Don't get me wrong. Ford has recently lost their way, but they are trying hard to fix it. Now, a little food for thought. Ford has been a poorly managed company from the start. Back in the day, Ford almost went under just because Henry refused to paint them anything other than black. That management has continued to present day. With poor management and lack of LS engines, Ford still manages to get by without handouts from the government. GM's problem is butt ugly cars. Ford learned you can't sell butt ugly cars when they made the Edsel, which by the way, was one of the best built cars ever.Thunder Chicken, I am sorry to ugly up your post with this childish nonsense. I am sorry to the moderators as well. I am sure they are watching this post like a hawk.86Cougar, I have to say bravo to your earlier post. That has to be the best post this site has ever seen.

Clearly you do not have a CLUE what this is all about. Better do some research on this before posting. By the way they use 6 bolt mains NOW!!! Quote Selected

Why GM went bankrupt Reply #36 – September 27, 2012, 09:25:44 AM Tom, there's a problem with that Honda... It has no compression in cylinders 5,6,7 and 8 On a more serious note, once again, this is not about lsx vs windsor. It's not about Chevy 4-bolt mains VS Ford 4-bolt heads (fwiw, I believe the 4-cam modular was using 6 bolt mains back in '93). It's about me making fun of GM U-vans. Now everyone behave or I'll get one of those vans and make one if you sit in the back and the other sit in the way-back... Quote Selected
