I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~

Re: AWWW YAHHH!!!!
When I got the truck it had a 360 with an original 4 barrel intake, and a 2 barrel carburetor adapted. Stock manifolds, heads, and distributor.
Now after a few $,$$$ it has:
270 H Iski cam
390 crank, and rods
Sealed power pistons
Bored .30 over
ATI Super Damper
Tuff Stuff chrome water pump
Tuff Dawg 428 big valve heads
Performer RPM intake
2” spacer
Holley 770 Street Avenger
Holley fuel pump
D.U.I. Racing Distributor
Ultra 40 Moroso wires
Cloyes Extreme Duty Billet Roller Timing set
Crane lifters, and hardened push rods
Adjustable rockers
Melling HV oil pump
Billet oil pump shaft
Ford Racing windage tray
Billet rocker support w/ end stands, and spacers
Chrome-Moly Rocker Shafts
Headman elite headers, and 50 series Flow masters
Once I started it I knew it was not the same any more.

Re: AWWW YAHHH!!!!
That's fantastic! How much time did you spend on the truck, from start to finish? That rear-mounted gas tank looks factory.

Oh, man Just get that feeling when you replace a worn motor with a less worn motor and it fires up like that on the first try, and makes the code enforcer shut her mouth.
So imagine completely rebuilt everything has to be 10 million times that good feeling.
