Stock they didn’t, but this thing is far from stock and older V8 motors could easily be woken up with heads, intake, and headers. It’s definitely a cool swap but it seems like they wasted a ton of potential. I suppose this does give the new owner something to work on which might be ideal depending on the buyer.

Edit: not even really a waste of potential, more that it’s not really impressive when you have smaller engines out there coming with 500, 600, 700HP from the factory via superchargers and what not.

Love this thing but 420HP out of a modern 7.3L engine is weak sauce. The GM 5.3L truck motors make nearly that much power stock. The HP rating shouldn’t be the highlight of this build.

I also solved mine but by never changing the oil.

FYI if you get a FHA loan, you can’t remove the PMI at all without refinancing. This was implemented after the crash in '07/'08. You can still get a conventional loan without doing the full 20%. I put around 10% down and just dropped PMI after about 4 years, though I likely could have removed it earlier if I’d paid for a new appraisal due to the increased property value.

Corn or flour (and I hope to god she’s heating them up first)? Growing up as a Caucasian child, my parents never cooked the tortillas on taco night and I didn’t know you were supposed to until meeting my Hispanic wife. Eating a cold tortilla now is like blasphemy.

Mythbusters did a test of poop particles on toothbrushes stored in areas all around their workshop and IIRC, the one in the bathroom actually had one of the lowest amounts of poop particles on it.

You might actually save money buying in bulk plus you won’t need to make 2x the number of trips to the store which burns gas and your time.

Hell is very hot from what I understand.

I’m guessing /u/friend_of_satan lives in a very hot and arid climate.

I once got a cup full of dlihydrogen monoxide when using one of these machines. Let me tell you that it was an experience…

Low-key way of informing everyone that nobody ever calls your landline.

You’re talking about being put in an “open-air prison” while simultaneously publicly complaining about the people you believe are monitoring you and also promoting your social media accounts on other platforms where you “document” your journey. You don’t see the obvious contradiction here where you claim to be targeted, restricted, and silenced while simultaneously enjoying the same freedoms as the rest of us evidenced by your very own posts, comments, and social media accounts?
