everything on any forum always inevitably turns into a pissing match.... it just the way of the world.

for wiki, its a great place to start on a paper, kinda puts everything into prespective for you, then go out and find other research and back your argument up with "reputible" sources... also for car/truck stuff, its really good and offers a ton of great information

ive been using wikipedia as a STARTING place for a paper since i was in like 8th grade, and yes it has been around for that long (im 23). the key is to look through the sources people provide, and cite them in your paper, not wikipedia. at bowling green if someone cites wikipedia they pretty much automatically fail, and if they use wikipedia and dont cite it, the professor usually finds out and then they get in serious trouble.
im so glad im gonna be done with school after this summer, its been 5 long years.

oh and to answer your question, you wont be able to find a "built" 3.9 anywhere unless an individual built one himself and wants to sell it.
socaldakota.com used to have a "crate" 3.9 that was good for like 250 horsepower on their site but we all know what happened with that guy. well actually no one knows what happened to him, but we all know he'll just steal your money.

Give me 4-5 years to get enough money set aside and I'll make you eat those words

Btw mine's currently debadged but this was on the tailgate when I got it:



As far as wikipedia goes here at RPI most professors tell us specifically not to use it and if it's cited as a source we will lose points.
