We didn't say anything because the Bonneville, Park Ave., and the Riviera all had the Series II 3800 L67 in 1996. So don't point the man in the wrong direction...plus it is pretty easy to tell if it is a Series 1 or 2...they look nothing alike...engine cover or not.

ha, nah they are pretty tuff motors. BUT thats is the only ford motor i will give props to unless we start going old school.
Re: New to L67 motor, need quick questions answered
Even old school...those things had oil pressure issues...
Re: New to L67 motor, need quick questions answered
maybe. i aint heard of to many instances of that. damn tuff blocks tho.
ive seen a stock 5.0 take a 300 shot all day long in a fox body with headers and tune and go 9's multiple times. 351w blocks are damn strong too. the 351c that came in some of the boss's from the 70's was made to rev to 9k and is a very stong block.
when ford guys opt to build motors, they tend to look for older blocks. but like said, svt does a good job holding it down. but another block than that from ford thats newer, no thanks.
