  • Why the Godzilla screwed Ford

    SVTPerformance · 4VandHemiKiller · 6 Nov 2026

    In light of the Gen VI GM 5.7 and 6.6 lifter/cam killing V8s introduced this year, it is worth reflecting on how short-sighted it was for Ford to shelve the already-paid-for Boss engine family and its proposed siamese-bore 6.9 Super Duty variant. Especially since Godzilla was never a truly clean-sheet design; it merely recycles core 6.2 Boss hardpoints, including the bore spacing, main and rod journal diameters, and head bolt patterns. Here's a proposed engine strategy built on the Boss... Read more

  • New U.S. Radiator 26" 3 Core For '69 B Body Manual Trans. (No Trans. cooler)

    For B Bodies Only · mrhemi · 2 Oct 2026

    I ordered this rad from U.S. Radiator when I could not find anyone to recore my original. The folks that purchased Glen Ray were not even talking of orders for 6-9 months.

It has less than an hour of run time. Then, by chance I found a somewhat local old school radiator shop that was able to recore my original... Read more
