I bought a 300 6 from Ford many years back. Drove the heck out of it and never had a problem. It had close to 200k on it when I sold it. Still ran great.

Bought a 454 Goodwrench from GM and put in my old 1 ton. What a heap. Thing started smoking and using oil like crazy at about 3,000 miles. Took it back and they handed me another one. stuck it in and same thing happen around 6,000 miles. Finally got mad and took the truck to the dealer and had a chat with the service and parts manager. After threatening to turn it into a Ford they decided to take care of it. I left it and a week later they called and said it was ready. Before I left the lot the service manager did confess that they were having tons of problems with their rebuilt big blocks. The rebuilder that GM was using was not really doing a good job. Heads were not getting new valves and guides. They were just knurling the guides and sticking the old valves back in. Cylinders were not getting bored. Just a quick hone and slap rings in them. When I lifted the hood the check out the install I was very pleased. They had put a brand new Vortec in it. GM paid for all of the needed parts to make the Vortec fit the old 1982 truck. After that never another problem. That thing ran really good. Service manager told me that GM was stepping up to upgraded swap in cases where guys had been through two or more engine failures in a short period. It took a while, but I was finally happy.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana. ... [Read Article]
