wow awesome work man

 

[Iron Ranger]

My brother had a 1990 Toyota 2200 pickup that him and his autobody buddy tore down and repainted to Daytona Lime Green with lots of extra clear, silver, and gold pearls. It's definitly a very unique paint color.

I love it. Others may hate it, but I love it.

Oh yeah, what exactly is an ironduke engine? Just a nickname or a factory name?

the ironduke is a nick name given to the engine the engine is a pushrod inline 151cid 4cyl bascicly half the legendary pontiac 301 which was produced for like 2 years the engines were used in the pontiac fieros and since the fieros where used in ISMA racing gm performance actually made a race block,heads,cranks and a bunch of part called Super Duty 4 (SD4) there were v-8s in the trans ams in the day with SD455's so bascily the SD4's are the old school performance 4 cyl.s ,a full out race spec block and parts can make over 500hp these engines cost alot more then v-8s to build tho ,iam actually going to be building 1 of these engines up using a stock production block with some race parts to make a 200hp little beast that will be extremely different
