We got a situation.

I am gonna do something about getting it checked out in the next few days, though. One bad sensor can mess up gas mileage big time nowadays.

That was a good motor. In fact, when Ford decided to make the 351 H.O., it was based on the 351W. That was one mean engine. I had one in a van once and it could flat out get it and hit it! Lots and lots of gasoline though. In fact, the van I had when I moved here had the 351 H.O. in it. Had to get rid of it because it only got 10 miles to the gallon.

If the people I sold it to do not sell it, I may buy it back. Even if I have to pay 5x what I sold it for.
