Talking Got Rumble?

Well the tax man paid me this year and low down AKA known as brownie got some rumble a complete new exhaust headers pipes cat and muffler heddman headers flow master muffler high flow cat i got more in exhaust then the whole truck cost me complete custom exhaust they want me to bring it back in next sat so they can take a pic of it when they do I'll post it also got new grill and weather seals for doors and window and having custom door panels made out of oak. should look real good when done. body and paint next !!!!!!!!! should be done with that by May truck runs great now pushing 300HP now thing I'll stop there with this one i want to enjoy it not fix it know what i mean?


P.S. Heddman Headers pt# 89150 & 89156 do not work on a 79 f-100 with a 5.0 H.O. motor Had to buy shorty headers for a mustang but they are heddman also and C.A.R.B. approved. Sweet!!!!!!!!!!

I'm going to have the gears changed out from 4.56:1 to something like 3.73:1 or maybe 3.50:1.Using my truck every day @ the current 10-12m.p.g. hurts me,maybe that will lessen the pain.

well just got the go ahead for the paint from the wife I'm starting to not want her to drive the truck because i might not get it back lol she had a 9sec mustang at one time she can drive that's for sure. i was going to get that radical with this truck project but like i said before i want to enjoy not fix it.
still need to get a roll pan for the truck and have it welded in so the rear is seamless plus the tailgate cover that blue oval truck parts make so the gate is smooth with no lettering on it.

Thank Earl W.


life is like a jalapeno what you do today can burn your A** tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No night here ex husband spent more time fixing that dang 69 pony then her driving it. seems they break with that much power the universal joints don't like it much nor the trannys. frame and rear end take a good beating too. so brownie will stay street-able. i do however have my eyes on a 2door comet and a Galaxy 500 that says 8 or 10 sec all over them just need to pick one. no brownie is good where she sits on the horse power scale. a Lil Getty up a good rumble and nice stance. a Lil show and a Lil go i like her where she is now a spunky Lil Effie. you should see the look on the kids faces in the 5.0 & 4.6 mustangs when the Lil brown Effie lights them up and leaves them wondering what i got under the hood lol. if they only knew its the same motor they got in the 5.0 mustangs just i have no computer holding back the ponies lmfao.
Thanx Earl W.
