Copier!

I was to be the only one with a Mercury dually pickup!
Item number: 160121444243
To me it lacks polish. 2 piece runnin boards, F-1 rear fenders (openings don't match), non matching front tires etc. It isn't worth close to $22 000. This the first M-4 truck I've seen though.

that front fender wheel well just doesn't look right with that tire in it, Also don't like the 2 piece running boards particulary.

Yep mine is all Ford and built tough! Technically it's strong enough for a diesel but I'll happy with the 302. I got a hackable SD Mustang computer now so I can build my 5.4L stroker! This is what I hope to do...Torque Monster!

By playing with cam timing but you can there is a trade off. More torque = less horsepower (certain extent). I could drop the rpm by like 500 but I'd loose about 25 hp. Also more torque = normally a smoother running engine. My engine won't have too much of a lope but I'll get a little better fuel economy since all my power is down low.

i guess there's no point then. its nice to have a DD that runs smooth. the ole cammed shaker is nice, but i think it'd get old after all day/every day.

Those are pretty sweet numbers. You know if it could fit a diesel in there, that would be pretty sweet too...
