well i got the hot rod on the road today [my 78f250 501 stroker] for the 1st time after having it bundeld up all winter man theres no feeling like it in the world having 550 hp on demand if needed and when a truck works/runs good it seems well worth the time and $ put into it a young fellow from work just bought a 2012 dodge ram/hemi for $60.000 thinking it was the fastest thing around but got his a** kicked good in a short off the line stint theres still "no replacment for displacment"!! old iron gotta love em and no payments to boot
