- But Dan, he sounds like he *wants* to feed a 460cid gas-pig (and pollute
- the environment with CO, unburned hydrocarbons, sulfer dioxide, etc) rather
- than operate a clean-burning turbocharged Diesel (which spews negligable
- quantities of the above-mentioned pollutants, only significant pollutant
- is oxides of nitrogen). Besides, the Dodge with Cummins power will out-pull,
- out-power and outlive the 460 while delivering twice the economy... that's
- too much for gas-pigger to comprehend ;-)

- Walt K., the man that finished in the middle of the pack at the truck-pulls
- using a *STOCK* Dodge W350 in *SUPER MODIFIED, UNLIMITED* class... there's
- several folks that want to crawl into a hole and hide after having-been bettered
- by a *STOCKER*!! So I do know where-of I speak regarding the incredible
- pulling-power of the Dodge!
