I had a '56 Ford pickup that I did up in the 1970's and put a 390 Thunderbird engine in it. I don't know what that engine weighed, but my truck immediately took on that "Babe the Blue Ox" look. Any Paul Bunyan fans will know what I mean. Damn low in front and Damned high in the rear, and zip for traction. I had a set of 10" wide Mickey thompsons on that truck, and even with a 38" length of steel railroad track welded between the rear frame horns, it would break the back tires loose at 40 miles an hour if you punched it. A fun but scary ride---great for smoke shows
