Today we're kicking off a brand new project to wedge a Ford dual overhead cam 4.6 liter V-8 into a 2001 'Ranger' based truck to build a smaller version of Ford's Lighting. Since "Mini Lightening" doesn't sound that tough, we're calling this Project - Rolling Thunder!.

Go watch it on Powerblock!

I need the time and actually show name. I don't watch live tv too much, so I have media center record shows for me.

Edit: Never mind, found it. It on Trucks! @ 1200 Saturday and Sunday. I got media center ready to record.
