It does sound nice, Bro. Post some photos. If that motor has not been balanced and blue printed and doe not have a heavy duty crank in it and it does not have a 750 double pumper it is not pushing out 455 hp. I am a real motor head and I have built small block motors most of my life. Does he have the dyno run to prove the hp? I had Chevy small blocks, Ford small blocks and Mopar small blocks that were built to the hilt and I know what kind of hp a small block is capable of putting out.

And youre going to buy it with what money?


I dont like paying 3.43 a gallon for gas in a gas gullazer. I only get thirteen mpg on my truck.I am currently unemployed an haveing to rely on my parents for gas. how much do yall have to pay per gallon
 
That's cold.........

Hey, Look at his previous posts. He started bashing Rangers within his first few posts. Talking about how some old fullsize chevy is SOOO much stronger then ANY Ranger on TRS.

If gas is too much for you now, wait till your driving a 450hp car around!!!

What's ironic is that my 450 HP (well 400 anyway) gets better gas mileage than my ranger in 'normal' driving.....

I just read through the thread you're referring to. To borrow a phrase from my son: OMFG!

I hear ya. My 400HP Cobra get the same or better mileage then my Explorer.

But who drives a car like that normal?!?!

Go you one better! About 500 rwhp and get almost 22 mpg on the interstate, don't ask about town. Them cars from history might have "run" good but not as good as most of the ones right off the showroom floor (stock) and todays get almost three times better mileage and handle. I wouldn't mind having an old 350 hp 327 SS.
