I refuse to compete for the prize (first of all) since I am out of state.
But I DO have a 351W coming together for a Ranger truck, and I have people around me actively keeping their eyes out for a chassis.
First thing tomorrow I expect to puke, brush my teeth, shower, grab a space heater, and see how my new ridge reamer works on the shortblock out on the stand in the garage.
I may pop the valves out of the heads I have with the valve spring compressor I also recently got, but not if the heads are "Quench" chambered. I want aluminum open chamber heads on this for about a nine to one compression ratio.
I ain't got 'em yet.
The cam set is right behind me as I type this. Lifters and all - 0.500 lift, I bagged the whole shooting match for forty bucks! (Pushrods included)
I think it made five passes.
I've also decided to fabricate the mufflers myself.

We I have installed an Eclipse AVN-7000, GPS, DVD, with backup camera. Does this count as a MOD?
And Wolfie, since you don't want to compete for the prize which we don't have, how about putting up the prize for us to compete for?

I say go for it. Just save the stock one in case they don't pass it and you can swap them back to go through inspection.
I know I'll have lots of swapping to get me through!! First thing I will do is pack steel wool in my tail pipes..lol
I just picked up a stock Ford 6 disk CD changer out of an 03 Harley truck.
I would like to add an amp and subs. But I have no clue how to hook them up.

Cool,,thanks Brian.
I don't think I'm looking for a sound like Lew's. I don't want to spend that much. Just want to add a little bass to what I have.
I'll start rounding up the parts and we'll go from there. Thanks.
