That's cool! I love the truck. I like the old school style of Monster Trucks much better than the new all fiberglass stuff. I mean the new stuff is fast and all, but I personally like the old ones better. Maybe it's just because that's what I grew up with, you know what they say about opinions. LOL

I was sad to hear he/she cought on fire.

Post the specs because I know a lot about FE engines.
I can tell already you don't know what you have by calling your engine a 428 Cobra Jet Interceptor.
I know you can't do squat with a Predator as well.

There is one in every crowd... I am not going to argue with you.
I did not build my engine.. it was built for me.
I installed it.
And a Predator is a great carb!!
