one thing i'd like to ask all these guys who do crazy burnouts with theirs is whether or not you all have an LSD rear? mines a 3.55 open so that certainly helps in the wheelspin category.

You guys must have smog choked engines and LSD's. My 66 300 3:73 open dif. will turn the tires pretty well or, should I say did. 2 broken moter mounts, fan into the radator, twice, 3 sets of tires I now keep my foot out of the carb. I have not done a burnout in years. But hey, you'er are only young once and I've been known to leave a v8 or two at the light. The 240/300 has a bulit proof bottom end and can be rodded very well. 1/4 mile times should be identical to simmilar built 289/302--283/305. I know! I konw! v8s can twist I've heard it all before but cubes are cubes power is power whether the pistons are in a row or a v. 0-50mph my 300 wll beat my 360. Have fun burnning your clutch ah I mean tires off oh and stop by my tire shop.

My 92 could do one hell of burn out when the e-brake worked. I would put the ebrake on and just punch it in 1st then 2nd and i could burn the tires from there with no problem. After doing like 5-10 burns out and 195K on the drive train i burned out the clutch. After replacing the clutch, i have only did one more burnout which was on the last day of school which is a tradition ive done every year.

Mine either. I got a video of my truck doing one, barely warmed up and being the first try. She could have kept going.. but it wasn't worth repairing the neighbor's fence.
Yeah, a 300 can spin'em.

Yeah, the E-Brake is only rear brakes, which is why E-Brake burnouts work better in front wheel drive cars.
((As for someone's earlier post for doing 120, it's a lot more than $1000 for a ticket. My brother got caught doing 120 in a 75 and it was $1700 and he lost his license for 3 months. I'm glad I didn't get caught back in the day when I had my Supra. I did 140 in that before I slowed down. Now that I have a 300 Bronco, I haven't been over 80mph in a few years. Probably a good thing.
