They said that it might only be 60000. Is this true.
Got the short block done on the 7.3 IDI turbo diesel engine build - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-96getWjac&t=103s
must be a very short order list. price of diesel may be scaring people away. you did good.
Ford's ceo said in an interview that he has had it with dealership's adding a markup on their popular model's. He said some dealer's are adding up to $45,000 to the msrp on the new lightening and maverick's.
He said they will go to an online ordering system where everything is upfront and quick.
They have had new policy's in place where if the customer order's a car the price is locked at the time of the order but the dealer's are still charging the markup or they won't deliver the car to the customer.
Instead of hour's to buy a car you can do it in minute's and the car will be delivered direct to you.
Ford is in the process of doing the change now.
You can see the interview on utube under Ford has had it with dealership's.

I know obviously every car is different but let’s say my car, obviously a 9 inch and a c-6 with 3000 stall what do you think the horsepower loss is. I know a c-4 doesn’t draw as much horsepower Jay said it was a big difference. If I do the Wallace calculator it says I have about 490-507 horsepower at the rear wheels depending on the weight I put in. Was wondering what the loss is to know approximately what it was making at the crank.
Okay guys, another fuel economy question for you regarding a couple engines.
If you had your choice, which engine would be a better candidate for a fuel-efficient build, a 352 or 351 Windsor?
Given the current situation around us now has me thinking more about MPG than HP.
Would still like to have good torque and a throttle responsive engine, only focus more on efficiency.
Factory cylinder heads, pump gas, backed by a C6 in a 4000lb truck. Will be using an aftermarket throttle body EFI system.
I do have one of those overdrive Top Loaders that came in late '70s trucks I could install, if it would be worth the trouble.
As always, any input greatly appreciated.
