You know we do love out swamp buggies in Florida. Lots of mud events going on these days.

Something you don't see, but might get me label as "blasphemous", diesel Expedition

Mid engine Excursion

Armored presidential Excursion

 

2wd Excursion cut down to a two door Bronco style drag truck. Lighter weight, unique.

 

 

 

 

Wish you had found this earlier, I just let my 70 altered wheelbase 1970 Roadrunner go. lol

How about the new 7.0 Gas engine + 10 speed tranny, in a Excursion?

 

Find a cheap 5.4 and do another build. Make some money and have a extremely happy new owner that knows what he's getting in a Excursion with a beautiful Cummins engine.

 

 

 

Probably not. It's a lot easier to get a 2WD transmission set up to handle a ton of power than it is to get a transfer case that can handle it all.

 

I can see that on an all out race truck, but for the "every man" Sportsman category, or even the Super Diesel category for that matter, it's better to be a 4x4 than a 2-wheel drive rig.

In all the years I raced NHRDA, I've not seen many transfer cases go kablooie on the track. And when I raced my 2-wheel drive F250, it was a bear to keep from lighting the tires off the line. Yes, having a good set of drag radials, ET slicks, or drag slicks on the truck would have helped (like it did for my Lightning), but having a set of 4 tires pulling you down the track is, generally speaking, much better than having 2 tires push you, when it comes to a daily driver that doubles as a weekend warrior at the track.

I've seen trucks launch in 4-wheel off the line, wrapped in full slicks, on stock transfer cases, destroy built transmissions...sometimes on their 3rd trans build....but still running great with the OEM transfer case.

I'm selling my 95 bronco! I think you should put it in that!
