Of course like most Mopars, it's fugly

So maybe the Boss Hoss approach would be a better look

350 V8



And the Big Block Mod
502 V8



All the specs are here

i second the idea of putting it in a older muscle car. Painless wiring makes kits for the 4.6 that makes wiring stupid easy.

MY ALL TIME one i have wanted to to forever!!! is put it in a 55 Ford F100 pickup. Put the whole lightning drivetrain in there. Make it a older one. That would be KILLER.

Anyone think thats a cool idea? You could run the 01 rims too

I heard it was in the paper. How much you want for it?

More importantly, how the heck is your new setup?

The new set-up? POTENT!! Runs good Ed. Have a smaller upper to put on yet, so should have some fun this summer. I did put it in the paper. If I can't get a decent price for it, I am just gonna keep it. Have everything thing for it from the throttle body to the factory headers (excluding fuel rails and electrics). How have you been, and how's your truck running?

Waiting on a chip for the 3 or 4 lber. Don't know what I got on there now...One guy says its a 4, another just a 3. Boost gauge goes in REAL soon.

Went to the track with just the pulley and the truck really falls on its face with each shift. Seems like it shuts down 6 cylinders and dumps ALL the boost for a moment.

Can't complain though, 13.23@104 with a 1.95 60', and a 13.27@104 w/ a 2.04 I beleive. I should be well in the 12s sometime in the next couple of weeks for sure. I'd put more $$ into it but its all going into a new company...

Ideas

Think I will nix the sedgeway and motorcycle route LOL. Need something with a huge engine compartment to make life easy.
The old F100 sounds intriguing, but might be hard to find in Alaska. Next trip to Anchorage, I will though, check out the wrecking yards and classifieds.
