What I am building is a race truck that I will drive on the street. Promised my wife that I would not build something that would run faster than 10.0 in the quarter. She thinks I am too old ( 86) to drive even that fast. Probably shouldn't tell her about the nitrous.

If you see mine , I will probably be picking up the pieces at the starting line. The company where I purchased it said it will take a lot more horsepower than I can make, so I'm good.

Santa's elf that drives a big brown delivery truck stopped at my house today and left me a custom driveshaft for my Ranger. Maybe I will be able to install it this weekend. It is a shame that something that looks that good has to go under the truck and be out of sight.

I bought a Titanium MIG 170 when they first came out.With all the discounts, I got a great deal.A couple of years later ,it still a better welder than I am

I do what I do because my wife keeps telling me to go for it. For almost 70yrs I have had a fast toy. Now that I am almost finished with my 557 BBF 95 F-350 Dually, I can start AGAIN putting my 351w in my 97 Ranger.I have found that if I am off road on a bike, car or truck it is because I am in...

I have cut out everything but the perimeter bracing on several cars so I could mount a large hood scoop. Camshaft was the only reason the hood vibrated.

What bellhousing are you using? Late model 5.0s take a longer input shaft than the earlier 302s.

Don't have a bed.

Muffler delete---The only 4 cyl I like the sound of without a muffler says Suzuki or Kawasaki on the tank, and yes I am that guy.
