Thanks! My buddy has a built 302 short block that I am buying soon. It dyno'd at around 420hp with good afr heads. So when my tired 5.0 finally gives out, I'll stab that one in. I have a collection of parts that need to go on it in my garage but it's tough finding the time to install them!

If it wasn't for the tails and mirrors, I would never guess that was a Ranger, but it looks great! I wish I lived in the desert so I could build something like this.

Nice! lots of money sitting there. Got any pictures of what that thing can do?

 

[shaun_kite]

Theres a bumped pic just because.

As far as action shots go, I hardly have any. Whenever I take my truck out, we never take pictures except when we stop. Here is a few random older ones..

Some video of the truck can be seen here..
