So does that mean you are making the trip up to VA on October 3rd weekend to play in the mud with us? Kris said he's coming up, but I think he's going to be too scared to run George in the mud again. Last time he came north to play I spanked his 466 with my 200k mile 351w!

Now he has to face the much lighter, much more powerful ranger. I think he's going to be a little after he runs.....

Larry, your truck is dirty.





That truck sure sounds good ripping through the pit!

Bill

Got a new shifter...


just put a Manuel VB in the tranny, and puttin the new shifter in, put a set of 4.11 gears in it just before the last race, Im considerin putin a 2500 stall converter in it, just tryin to squeze every thang out of it i can with the little motor for i go stroker with it...

Just a few pictures
loadin up for the last race


In the back yard my 88 Street truck and the 77 race truck

It's a good opportunity for her career..so we'll see if she gets the job.

thats the way it goes fer sure, congrats on the marrige, i thank im wait a few years for i jump into it.... lol

Got a 2800 hughes stall converter and put in the truck

Boy I can remember them days using a come along to pull the engine out thank goodness they invented the cherry picker make life alot easier and safer.Be real careful with the come along I had one to brake the little pin that hold the clicker one time the good thing was the engine wasn't any good anyway.I got a friend wanting to put a clutch in his braco 2 I told him to pull the engine makes easier than pulling tran and tranfer case .Good luck on getting her back together.

Thanks, I finished up everythang last night, its ready to run again short of filling with oil

Larry you did any thing on old blue lately

Jim

Blew the engine on it earlier this year been scraping together the parts to rebuild with

Heres the pass where the engien blew



Just droped everythang off at the Machine shop this morning looking ot build a 12-1 466 with dove heads should be a good step up from the the previous since it just had cam intake and carb on it

Sweet, what gas you planning on running? With those heads and a fair cam you'll be making some torque easily. That's what will probably get you through the mud. Cool truck.

Ill be running 111

Got a lead on some today for 6.75 a gallon which is bout .75c a gallon cheaper than i have seen it anywhere else

Trying to find a decent set of headers for it at the moment that want break the bank debating building a set and bringing them out the fender just behind the tires also sold 2 TSL's off the back (38x12.50's) and picked up 2 Boggers for the rear (38.5x15's) still gonna run the TSL's front hopefully have the short block back the end of next weekIll have some more vids when i get it back together

Keep in mind, headers for any year in the 67-79 year range ford trucks will work if your truck is in that range.
