Hello! Don’t know if this is the right community to post this question, but maybe you can help.
I want to learn about cars and engines. I’m a pretty mechanical person and I like to tinker. I can do basics, like changing my own oil etc.
I want to do some hands on learning, but I don’t have a ton of money to spend or space to work in. I was wondering if you had suggestions on something small and affordable I can get to learn about engines. I was thinking a lawn mower or a scooter but I don’t know how similar those would be to a car.
Do you have any advice?
Buy a 60’s era truck. Pre-smog, but not too old that parts are hard to find.
A ford f100 or f250 for instance. The f100 with an inline 6 engine would be perfect. A 302 would be good too. I’d avoid the “fe” 352, 360, 390 only because they cost a bit to maintain.
