Thanks guys! Now, Mike. Yes, a 390 Ford actually was designed originally for the marine industry. But a boat Anchor? Pffflllppp..... actually, I think it breaks down like this and it clearly shows its nautical roots:
390 Ford Parts Weight Conversion Chart:
1. Cylinder Heads: Turrets from the Merrimack
2. Intake Manifold: 16" Shell slug from the Missouri
3. Water Pump: Anchor chain from the Mauritania
4. Crankshaft: Recycled propeller from the Bismarck
I think that sums it up.......
Cheers
Dave
