Air down the tires ,put it in 2nd gear,rev it up and let er go!! As you begin to slow down work your steering wheel back and forth a little to try and grab some more traction.An upgrade to an 8 cyl would help,but I have seen the 6's run good.

78 F150 4x4
429 CID
Dana 44 spooled Front,
9"Locked rear,
5:13 Gears
17/40/15 Gumbo monster mudders
18/39.5/15 Swamper Boggers
BIG,BAD,and UGLY.

if you bogg down on your first try

then try low side of your t case

i run a C-6 with a 351C in the low side with 38's and 4.56:1

i put it in drive and take off

for you is alot differnt

i would try hi side in your case for tire speed

but dont know id your 6 will run them good enough in hi side though

and with a spool in the front if you go to bouncing be easy because with a spool in the front the long side will snap if it hits before the short side hit and the tires spinning under power

have done this a few times

just remember if you like me ( go till it breaks) then put it on the floor and go till yuo cant go no more or till the flag ma tells you to

good luck and let us know how it works out
