My Corolla had around 100 watchers as well when I bought it. I picked it up for $3500. He is dreaming if he thinks its going to get to $17k.
Why would you piss $17k away on that when you could buy a 240Z!

Quote from Wikipedia item on Ford 302 V8 Windsor engine.
In the 1980s the 302 became more commonly known as the 5.0 Liter, although its metric displacement (4942 cc) accurately rounds to 4.9 L. It is speculatethat Ford used the "5.0" moniker to distinguish the 302 from their 300 cu. in. inline Six, which was known as the 4.9. Despite its advertised displacement, Car and Driver referred to the 302 as a 4.9 liter engine.

The Chrysler Valiant's my folks had years ago were classed as 225cid Slant 6 AP5 1963 which was rated at 3.7 litre ( 3687cc) and the 273 V8 VC 1967 classed as 4.4 litre (4478cc) The Slant 6 225 rounded up and the V8 273 rounded down slightly in both cases.

The 302C V8 and the 351C V8 Fords (Australia) were always referred to as 4.9 litre and 5.8 litre and badged as such when they metricated the Australian Fords from the XC Falcon range with the Cleveland designed V8's Actually the 302 C engines the Aussie Fords used for some time were actually a Ford Australia engine, USA never ever had a 302 Cleveland as such. The later offerings from Ford Australia may well be referred to as 5 litre etcthat being basically the American built Windsor design engines with the electronic wizardrythey use now. The yanks seem to round up some of their sizes actually depends which size it's nearest to I guess.

Also from Wikipedia "302 Cleveland - Note that there was also a 302 "Windsor" This engine was built only in Australia from 1972 to 1982, and was intended to give their consumers a smaller capacity alternative to the Geelong built 351 Cleveland, as Ford Australia inherited the patterns, molds and tooling for the 'Cleveland' it was a viable alternative to importing the 302 Windsor. Using a locally reproduced 351 Cleveland block (1972??

I keep my comments and reactions within these boards, I never use the "report it here" link below and rarely have used the "vote to have it removed" link and not yet this year.
Yes I do love a good wind up, those with thin skins get what they deserve, especially when the dish it out first then run behind mummys skirt to poke their tongues out at us.

Yep they wander off for sure, but the rounding up and rounding down of capacities of some other makes as I mentioned in previous posts here was still loosely in bounds of discussionI would say by giving the odd example of such . It's interesting all the history of the Ford Cleveland/Windsor stuff. Back in the day I was working on them the 302C was affectionately called the "Down Under Engine"The 302C 'only in Australia was as mentioned developed from the 351C (Geelong Block) and can easily be reversed actually, been there done that. Sure is heaps of confusion as mentioned between the different versions of each of the Cleveland & Windsor Ford engines. Some of the differences over the years are actually quite subtle. The "quench" heads with the smaller 58cc chambers are a very sought after item even outside Australia and good ones are worth their weight in gold.
