HI Fred and all the other listers who responded to my quest for info,

Most of the comments about this engine have been on the positive 
side and several were not quite so positive.  I would say that if all 
were positive something fishy was going on and if all were negative 
then definitely don't buy.  Since the majority felt the engine was 
acceptable and the fact that I HAD to do something in the near future 
I decided to purchase a truck with this engine.  Originally I was 
looking at a 4x4 but the extra money for one and the fact that I 
don't care for the way they handle steered me towards a 92 F150, 
300ci fuel injected, 4x2, shortbed, ps, pb, 5 sp manual, ac, twin 
tanks, crappy CD player and and zero rust (must not have been made by 
Triumph!!).  I did test it on the interstate and it seemed to have a 
plenty of getup and go with power to spare.  Now that I have this LBC 
tow vehicle I just might be able to make it to some of the events 
later this year.  Many of you will say just drive the LBC.  I would 
but there are some places I plan on going where I will need a truck 
also.  

Anyway, again I just want to thank everyone for their vote of 
confidence for the engine in question.  And yes Allen Nugent I will 
definitely look out for LBC'ers when I back up!!!!!
