BTW, MAKE CERTAIN you prime the oil BEFORE you ever spin the motor over. You want to see oil at the cams, then (with the EFI fuse pulled) spin the motor over until you see oil pressure - check for leaks, THEN fire it up.

gotta make sure i remember that.thanks

just dont put rods in it...guaranteed not to have rod knock.


oh and btw, there is a "slight" chance it wont run but at least it will be super quiet. good for a coffee table ;)

That's just wrong!

well thats true. im just worried a v8 wont even work right as a coffee table

for any who don't know, im not dissing the 7M at all, i still run one :D

I know you weren't dissing the 7M, I was just having fun. As for the V8, it makes a great coffee table, just watch Top Gear. They have one in the studio. Though it might be a V10, or 12, I haven't got a real good look at it.

Yeah, here. But there's tons of useless V8's in countless junkyards across America!

if we are strictly going on mass numbers i think it is safe to assume that there are less junk 7M's than there are junk v8's (if that makes sense) basically there way more junk v8's in the world simply because they are produced in greater numbers than the 7M :)

Not only that, but the percentage of enthusiasts per 1000 of each type of engine, is much higher for the 7M, than for all the different models of V8's combined, therefore people are less likely to junk a 7M.:boobies:
