New Ford 7.3 V8
I see people calling this a “big block” engine. Is it part of a series of engines of different displacements based on a common “big” block?

Those were the days when Hot rodders actually got into the inner workings of motors, porting heads, lapping valves, fitting piston rings. installing cams.... Nowadays most just tap on a keyboard and "tune" a motor... The Tuners never get any grease/oil on their hands. Hard to see that as mechanicing... More like playing a video game.
Tuners never get grease on their hands? Really? Guess all that stuff I got on my hands when I replaced my turbo/manifold for performance turbo and manifold, removed my EGR/DPF/SCR, installed turbo back exhaust, installed head studs, and so on was not actually grease?
Tuning doesn't create horsepower. Hard parts still do. Tuning only unleashes it.
