 When it's all done (raced) and sold, hope my mega inch Ford draws the same enthusiasm and expertise!!!! Still don't have a good plan in place for it----any block ideas? Gotta be bigger then your new one, Pat!!!!!      Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

 What I should do is just put a roller cammed 383 small block in it and sell it.... Getting anxious to get back on the Ranchero anyhow.... Don't know if the extra bucks to build a real engine would increase the resale enough to justify it......Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

 355 chevy if it was mine it would be a bbc i just have stuff to build a low buck 496 or 454 but with fuel the way it is i think it would be hard to build and sell a car right now it would be better to sell it to someone with a option of engines ? get it all most done and sell it as turn key with color option and engine option???

 Hmmmm... Dang good idea Pat!!!! Then finish the car with somebody else's money.... Wonder how and where to advertise a deal like that??? The car is genuinely unique!!!! Should bring some good $$$$$$.... Originally Posted by pat mccarthy Originally Posted by pat mccarthyYesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

 Hmmmm. saw that one too.... I'm concerned that it would end up just looking like another project car....then everyone thinks they should be able to steal it....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
