Hmmm, I do have the '85 in the signature that will need some TLC! Maybe a newer 7.3L? I'm sure I can find over 1200 hours of work to do on it so I can spend ten times that behind the wheel!

You will like that 460. I loved mine, and it had the C6, I am sure with the 4speed it is even more fun to drive.

Oh, I love that motor! The sound is amazing, reminds me of my father. I get to drive it from time to time and that motor runs great. The diesel will make it more driveable though, slightly better mileage.

That thing was wicked. Watching it sit there and float the valves was kind of funny though. I want one.
