But, to be serious, the initial post has a lot of merit. Some examination of the vehicle should also reveal clues about how it has been used and some mods leave signs that they were done. But, the basic engine is quite robust for the most part.

You guys are killing me here. I think you both reside at opposite ends of the maintenance spectrum. Somewhere right in the middle is just fine for most folks.

No, I have nothing bad to say. Brian and Mason are good guys.

I used them about 13 years ago to replace a leaky header gasket on my 89 5.0

Came out to my apartment and did it in the carport. I wanted to pay them $100 but he'd only take $45 or something like that.

Thought that was pretty awesome.

Damn. Three pages on just the "Stage 1" tune up guide. I hate to see what happens when you really get serious.

That was the old days. He had a car port. His current garage and cars are in the site logo.
