Mods, please move this drivel to the appropriate forum.

Local cop wrestled an alligator in front of my house in Florida.  We didn’t have camera phones back then, so no video to prove it it happened.  I wonder how long departments retain incident reports.

It wasn't a dog so they couldn't shoot it.

You know that happens on pretty much every day that ends in a "Y" there right?

I bet she's a lot of fun.

It aint no faster than a normal F-150, but it makes a lot more noise.

Would be nice to prove it happened when people try to say you’re bullshitting them.

Me telling Arizonans that there was a gator and an attack goose at the car title office, which was a dirt lot by a canal:  "There is no fucking way, you are making that up!"

That bobcat incident was right by Hobi's place.

Piece of cake.  Now let's see them install a Godzilla in that F-150.😆

No, you want the Megazilla, 615HP and 640 TQ, and 500Ft.Lbs. from 2500 RPM.  It has a lower profile intake so it's easier to swap into a car, and with the redesigned pistons it uses it should be boost ready out of the crate.

If that was a little more than you wanted:

Or just buy an old rental, or wrecked 15-passenger van.  Not sure what year they started using the Godzilla V-8.

Me?

I've been doing a lot of research on building a sleeper-ish daily driver.  A 2000s era F-150 with a Godzilla motor would be fun, I think.  However, I think I've settled on putting an LS in my Nissan Frontier Pro4X.

I keep having fantasies about putting up five cylinder Mercedes diesel in a Toyota 4Runner

For this application I recommend the .22 WMR from a Rifle.

I understand the desire for a diesel in an off-road application, but why opt for less power?  Or can you actually get those 5 bangers to make steam like a Cummins?

I've heard the 4 cylinder UPS truck engines can be turbo'd-up nicely.

Strictly fuel economy.
