Your Ford Thread

Never thought I would find myself driving a Ford, but I’m not one to turn down a free car when mine has been totaled by an idiot running a red light while playing on her phone.
 
I have two Fords (15 Roush Mustang, 16 Raptor) and love them both, never really have issues.

Well, except when I put the Mustang in the ditch and threw the rear end out of alignment.

That was my fault though!

69 and 70 before NASCAR banned them. It would be worth a fortune as it sits as a barn find. :)

Ford is definitely responsible. They were responsible for knowingly selling the Pinto with a defect that led to a class action lawsuit which they lost. The pinto came to be known intercompany wise as "the depth charge" because when the turn light was on and you got hit at the turn light signaling the car caught fire. A movie "Class Action" was made about it. Ford also produced two versions of the 351 cubic inch engine. One was made in Windsor Ontario while the other was made in Cleveland Ohio. The Windsor engine has a timing gear that was made of metal then had about a one sixteenth coat of resin. Over time, about 15,000 mile the resin started chipping off, causing the timing chain to jump time and the valves hitting the pistons. From what I understand Ford is still producing the Windsor engine.
 
I worked as an automotive machinist. The longest lasting engines were Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth and Cadillac. Ford and Chevy normally wore bad.

They also made a 351M for Michigan
 
I live very close to the sea. My cars get covered with salt spray.

My Fords rusted away. That is why I now have Volvos.

Not a technician/mechanic?

Anyway, from a little research I found that Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Cadillac, Chevy and all General Motors engines have been practically identical since the early 60's.
 
According to memory, and if it serves correctly. the early 80s was when people started soiling themselves discovering that their beloved Buick had an Oldsmobile engine in it. Nowadays, I have no idea how many engines GM actually makes (and I couldn't be forced to give a fuck at gunpoint), but since they have fewer divisions remaining, it cunt be many.


Now, Chrysler and Ford started standardizing that shit in the late 50s.


Although I never quite understood why Chrysler saw the need to have two big blocks.
