4.1 Litre Cleveland

[JG3282]

had an interesting conversation tonight, i pulled inot the convenience store to get a bottle of drink on the way home and as i was in & out i left the car idling. before i go further, it is an XE Ghia six cylinder that has a nice lopey idle and admittedly sounds different out the exhaust.

anyway this guy who was wearing an fpr shirt and pirtek hat was there with his ba gt-p and as he walked past he goes "nice sounding machine you got there chief, wazitgotinit? A 351 clevo?"

i reply "thanks mate but its a 4.1 litre."

he then says "ahhh thats a 289 then?"

i just agreed and said "yeah its a windsor mate, wanna take a look?"

"Yep why not"

So I lift the bonnet and there staring him in the face is an Inline six cylinder engine to which he says "looks a bit different to my boss 290 but then v8's have changed a lot since then"

Luckily for me my phone rang and I beat it very quickly :MrT_anim:
