Yes, because he's been mischievously plotting your air-terminal demise for many months (he told me in PM).

Had the janitor left the banana peel on the grey tile instead of the white, we'd all be splitting up ur gear right now and talking about what a great guy you were.

Damned janitors.

My wife and kids have been gone this weekend, and I had to stay behind due to work responsibilities (dang). Needless to say I have enjoyed a little quiet time, got a couple things done around the house, and today I sat back and re-read your entire build thread on your retro fox. That sure is/was a neat car, sucks you ended up selling it. However the G Monster has quite a bit more "cool factor" for me, personally. What I got a kick out of, is how kind and polite you were through that thread vs now, lol! That BMW Genius job seems to have gone to you head a little Mikey! @madmike1157

Yeah, I saw that too,....Maybe I'll rekindle the softer, more considerate side of me throughout the rest of this thread.

** Mind starts to wander.......

Maybe I'll start considering what others think and quit being so condescending,.....Maybe I'll go out and start a charity drive for the homeless. Maybe I'll donate all of my earnings to fight illiteracy, workplace violence, cruelty to animals, & the deforestation of the Amazon river basin.

Ohh Nick,...I'm so glad your here,........I had the worst dream.....

This proves that Mike is at least aware than an alternate reality may exist where he doesn't ask questions to which he doesn't want answers.

Maybe you'll sack up, quit being a B***H, sell the f*cking mini and buy an S550, like a man.

Go ahead,...make fun. Enjoy it while the Monster sleeps.

For when he wakes,.......there will be a new day.

Free from monotony. Devoid of commonality, totally lacking in the belly-buttonisms that is the norm in Mustangland.

And then the glued together pieces will peel apart, engine fluids will be all over the ground like the puking radiator in the retro fox at Mustang Week, and Mike will cry in the corner realizing a 408W with that Chinee turbo would have been more powerful, more reliable, and sound like a man's car... Oh wait, did I type that out loud?

Please!!......On what cold day in hell do you think I'd ever resort to a windsor after going this far off the deep end to avoid it?
Whether or not this engine is reliable has yet to be seen, but I'll take my glued together banger as opposed to having one more of the same to add to the rows and rows of 5.7 liter windsors w/ turbos already there at any given car show, on any given Sunday, in any given city.

How many times do I have to say it. I'd have just about ANY other engine before I'd have another windsor.
Cleveland, 385, Fe, LS.....

Wow,....Did I respond out loud to what you just typed out loud?

Oh, and A turbo FE would be really cool. I'd give up a t shirt to see that.

I'm looking forward to hearing the monster under a load building boost. The video that got posted waaaay back of that same type aussie engine sounded INSANE. I've got to give Mike chit because he thumbs downs my belly buttons, but I dig the mad scientist in him.

The mini, eh..

I would be misrepresenting the truth if I said that that Aussie engine sounds anything like mine will. Much the same as a Coyote is the evolution of the OHV Windsor, The engine in that 65 Mustang is the equivalent future version of mine. A "Turbo Barra" only shares it's displacement with me. Everything else is vastly superior. The head is a DOHC head, the bottom end is 6 bolted, the internals are forged, and the engine can service a very high redline.

That's what it takes to see 1300HP out of 6 holes.

I'll be happy with a 3rd of that.

My combo will sound much more like this:

He needs to work on the suspension/tires if he ever wants to make that hook

That tractor is cool. Don't know how farmers around here would like what he did to that open field though

Mikes car is going to sound badass if he's ever able to let it rip...without literally coming unglued.
