When I say 'my engine is a 351 modified' and they say 'then why is it all stock?'

Here's one:

When my passenger says 'what does this button do' and I say 'I have no clue!'

(More or less related to new-er models)

It just says it's commonly refered to as modified. And its Wikipedia for Christ's sake LOL. AFAIK, Ford didn't designate it as modified.

You know you drive a Ford Truck when you have to explain why a 351C/M/400 aren't designated a SB or BB.



That's frickin Wiki (as Bill would say, followed with a face palm). Nowhere in Ford literature does it make mention that it stands for 'modified'. As I recall Bill telling it, it was just a marker to differentiate between the W's and C's.

Yea, it's kinda a slang term.

Along with a laundry list of other slang terms that the M stands for. But if it does stand for modified, leave my stuff alone Ford, you did a horse chit job modifiying it.

You know you're driving a Ford - when there's a long discussion about the 'M' word.

Best one yet.
 
I thought they did a good job on the Wiki article.
Seems pretty obvious the M is short for Michigan/MCC.

And FE stands for Ford Engine and an "MEL engine" is a
Mercury Engine Lincoln engine. ;) I always use that one
to show how silly anything other than Edsel don't fit so
good. ;)

Cool thread and cool thread idea too, BTW! :)

I know I drive an old Ford because my engine has a
"Y-block design", but it ain't a "Y-block engine". ;)

The main reason I know I drive a Ford is...
Bought it new and it's got about 250k on it and it's never
broke down and left me stranded anywhere, ever!

In spirit of Alvin's post,


You know you drive a Ford Truck when you buy it new and 35 years later it still runs better than anything else on the road.
