Saying something is true doesn't make it so.
That's true.
Srsly: what makes something true is it being true. Which is worth keeping in mind before making comments that don't connect real well with reality.
Quote:
I don't understand the comment of "small number of slants"? Really?
Really. Statistically, slant-6 engines and the cars they were put in no longer exist. Take a moment to think about the implications of that fact. Think about what it means in terms of the number of people interested (smaller), willing (even smaller), and able (yet smaller) to buy a new aluminum cylinder head. The numbers just aren't there. You can stand there insisting "YES THEY ARE TOO!" until the cows come home, but it won't change reality. And the clock keeps on ticking—today there are fewer slant-6 engines in the world than there were yesterday, and tomorrow there will be even fewer.
Quote:
And I understand the jaded, defeatist, been there done that, it will never happen, tired of typing again, and again, etc
No, mister eleven-whole-entire-posts-on-here, you don't. I'm sure you think you understand what you think you know of what you think has been said here, but you don't.
Quote:
belittling and undermining the efforts or ideas of others
When you speak like this without knowing what you're talking about, you make yourself look ignorant and silly. Fact is, nobody's ever belittled or undermined an
effort on here. Quite the opposite. There have been a few genuine
efforts towards an aluminum head, and every single one of them has been cheered on and encouraged and facilitated in every way possible, until the hard realities of cost, price, and demand have scuttled it.
What gets belittled is childish insistence that if we just wish hard enough, we'll get an exemption from the laws of supply and demand and an up-to-date, high-feature aluminum head will descend from heaven.
Quote:
people have been surprised before, and positive thinking harms no one.
There's positive thinking, then there's what you're doing. Know what really harms nobody?
Realistic thinking.
Quote:
Motivating Edelbrock is the key.
Sure. Go write a (good) five-figure check to Edelbrock, and then they'll be motivated to get right on that project. Money talks, and bulk wrap walks.
Not gonna write that check? Then quit scolding us from ignorance. You simply and flatly do not know what (and whom) you're talking about.
