The EPA regulations that caused them to drop all the older very proven designs!
eg 350, 454 engine blocks.
I mostly own Ford/Toyota products now, got rid of my GM crap.
No more Democrat Detroit Motown crap.
I generally only buy used cars at least ten years old,
so they have a track record.
you can buy a lot of customization and repair for the price of one EPA sanctioned POS politically correct vehicle!
I own:
Ford Expedition, Ford Explorer, Mazda PU , Toyota 4 runner.
All made in America, All 4WD(I need it here in Hawaii).
The original LS small block released in 99 was a great engine. Then they killed it with VVT followed by AFM..
This is just a continuation of that same stupid.
