'77 cougar XR-something or other, 351 V8

Every last one ran hot. The flatheads had to be rebuilt every summer. The monkey-motion engines didn't last as long as my ironhead Sportster between overhauls and the autoshifter gearboxes didn't even last that long. There is someone who works with the OL that has a new Ford Towus. It's a good thing they live in town because it goes into overheat mode just as they get to work.
Fords that I've had:
1967 F-100- 352
1965 Mustang- 289 'K' code (Hi-Po)
1968 Fairlane- 302
1972 Galaxy 500- 400M
1973 F-250- 390
1990 Taurus- 3.0
1995 F-150- 302
1998 Windstar- 3.8
Never had heating problems.
And, they were all in Vegas.
All went well over 100K (over 200K on the Taurus and Windstar) before I got something else.
(Except the 'stang, I beat it bad. But ir was fun  )
