    Well i am the guy thats broke with the clunker but it wont go from 0 to 60 in 3sec thats why i am working/trying to trade for the toys i want so have a good laugh on me. It will go 60 on a good long straight flat/maybe downhill road. Its a 65 Ford F100 with a 40 yr old straight 6 still runs good and doesn,t use oil or smoke. It may outlast me. My other truck is a 65 Chevy with blown (as in no good) 350 needs some tender loving care and some more cash to make it go again. Laughter is good for the soul so laugh and be happy.
    I just wonder what happened to GOVERNMENT of the people by the people for the people?

    theres nothing wrong with that old trucker i'm broke too i just spend outside of my means in the name of hot rodding, the one thing that makes you different is that you dont say its got 500 hp, hey both those 65's are cool trucks, i have a 67 c-10, i am really into the trucks but hate the traction issues involved

    well you would be right on the 350 i did not use that engine only the one that is in the car running. would be more like 316. but i like the sound of 283 why hell yes work your way up on the pulling there is a guy that i like to pull is house off his foundation.i may have to wait for the 731 for that job
