the first truck i ever drove was dads 2wd '74 f-250 with a 300-6, creeper first 4-speed and 3.73 gears. this truck would pull anything, get 16 mpg and always fired right up, never used any oil. the most i could ever get out of it was 75 m.p.h. we still have this pickup, i parked it in '91 due to bad cab mounts, the weight of the cab was on the steering coulmn, making it very hard to steer, even with power steering. it would be neat if the 300 would fit in the ranger engine bay, but it is probapbly too long and would weigh too much for the front springs.

91 5.0 tbird says 85 but i know it has been well over 100
91 subaru legacy said 140 had it to 135 but let off it would go faster than 140 though that thing was still climbing up there. it would also powerbrake big time smoke everywhere. and don't try to critisize me punk

you know what i love is when people stop talking about all of the "speed limiter" mumbo jumbo when SS and a few others want to see evidence or know how the speed limiter was disabeled, and how they reached such high speeds (115-140).
thats my two cents for this thread. show us the evidence

A simple, though not exactly correct conversion is:
Miles = Km x .6 (closer to .61, actually)
Km = miles x 1.6
140 kmph x .6 = you guessed it - about 85 mph.
.6 and 1.6,.......... Easy to remember.
