      Some say that the early Vette's with the overhead cam engines (help from LOTUS) - combined with the knowledge that Cadillac was using an overhead cam V8 got 40rd and a lot of the others 'lured in' to thinking that they knew something! In fact, they did! 40rd started putting their car engines into pickups and failed miserably - but that failure, as 40rd owners know, was paid for by the customers... Now, what's 40rd doing with their "big gasser" (as far as cam location?)???? Oh, yeah, criticizing GM and MOPAR for sticking with overhead valves - calling them 'old technology', but 'secretly' going back to get a little DEPENDABILITY and LOW END TORQUE for their trucks... HMMMMMM. Do you think it was just a 'bait and switch' to get 40rd to go 'all in' with overhead cam engines???

    I was taking an espresso machine repair class and the instructor was talking about the size difference between water pumps that determines how much traffic your machine can handle. I asked if you could swap out the pumps to be able to make more coffee. He didn't quite get what I was asking because I'm not great at talking. Eventually, I just asked him if you could LS swap your espresso machine's pump, and he said, "Hell, yeah! You a Chevy girl?!" gave me a hearty high five and proceeded to tell me how to swap in a bigger pump.
    Thank you Donut for educating, inspiring, and bridging gaps for different kinds of wrenchers.
