Well if I didnt need the mileage right now I would put the FE 390/427 that is in the 66 in. But hey I have 5 little Rangers and a whole summer. This may well work at the mud bog's. And yes I have one of the few 390 blocks that took a 427 bore and lived with plenty of cyl wall left. I'm amazed at the loads I have had on the 66 F350 on these hilly logging roads and never get over the 180 stat temp. But the cabs falling off. Maybe put the FE in the snow machine, eh.

Ya move the cab and Fe back about two feet. Put 1 ton 4x4 axles under it with a C6 And 44 inch paddle tires. Stip off the extra stuff to lighten her up and hit the Bogs. I can already see the trophy and the 20k first prize. This could work. I got every thing here that I need incuding a 93 F350 4x4 sevice truck for the axles and transfer. I also got a NP 203 or 205 (can't remember) devorsed full time case that is prolly better than whats in the 93. ARRR AHRRRR

Got a local NHRA approved Bog. Had the first run of the season last weekend. And will have a run every other weekend till fall. Never ran yet. But I can see what's winning and I can do that or better with just what I got around the place. Ya it looks like a salvage yard around here and it's great. Ain't nobody to tell us what we can and can't do on our own land. Even grow our own Herb for personal use if we want.

If I can ever get them all home I'll have 6 from 84 to 89 for 50 bucks for the one in the impound yard. Just need the Local Yocals to find the key in the evidence locker so I can drive it home. The other three are getting stripped fast. And my helper when out on a comercial fishing opening. He should be back tomarrow. So hopefully the next day we go get another one. At least the rest have axles under them and should be easyer ta load. Ya just can't have to many spare parts.

Doc's said to go for it so I am. But damn I hurt Morris. Been inactive for way to long and am still having proplems with the back pain. Think I'll go for the stairoid shots for that as there is little side affects from it and will eventualy srink the scar tissue that is causing the pain. Think I need ta get my spell checker back on here also.
