    Ford made the Sportmans cheaper in 2006.
    I built a 347 for a customer.
    The engine was maybe 500 hp.
    The car was running 6.80's in the 1/8 and he cracked the block in the lifter valley.
    The engine only had about 35 pass's on it.
    My advice to people is save your money and go Dart.
