From: TN, but truck is in AZ.
Geez, not ANOTHER newbie!

Howdy, I am new to this forum, but not to forums in general. I am on sbftech, fordpinto.com, turboford.net, and other forums. My name is the same on every forum, so it is easy to tell it is me. Anywho, a little about me. I got out of the Navy last year after 6 years of seeing the world on the taxpayers' dime. I am originally from Tucson, AZ, but found the love of my life and she is from TN, so we have moved to Chattanooga, and will be married in April. Unfortunately, I left most of my vehicles in the tender care of my father and uncle back in Tucson. Here is a list of the cars/trucks I own:
Here in TN: 87 Mustang LX, 02 Kia Rio
Back in AZ: 67 Mustang, 73 Pinto, 76 Mustang II, 77 Pinto, 77 Mustang II, 78 Pinto, 78 F150 4x4

Eventually I want to do a 429/460 in the 4x4, with either a NV4500 or NV5600 behind it.

I am no stranger to big projects. I have done a 3spd column shift to 5spd floor shift conversion on an 81 Chevy, a sbc/TH350 to bbc/NV4500 in a 72 Blazer, and am in the process of gathering the necessary parts to do an auto to 5spd conversion on my 87 Mustang. As you have undoubtedly noticed, I am not an anti-Chevy person. I am not an anti-import person either, but if you also notice only 1 of the 9 cars I own is not a Fomoco product. I like to have fun with what I own, and these are what I currently own. Have fun, and take it easy!
