Can't drive my Dodge. Not only is it broke down it is horrible in the snow.

Come to think of it, it is horrible in the sand, mud, hills and what not as well. Did good on gravel and pavement though.

Did I mention that it is only 2WD? Maybe that is why

I am working on that. The Mustang and '71 F-250 come first though.

Suprisingly my dodge is the only 4x4 thats decent in the snow.maybe because it has an air locker in the rear that i can turn off and the others have detroits.
I have a 71 f250 aswell..2wd 428 c6.....not on the road rite now...im taking my time with her...building it up for the Power Tour.

My '71 is currently 2WD with a blown 390. My '96 is going to donate it's 460 to the '71. Still deciding on front suspension. Would love to find a front D60.

I just watched a 460 powered Mustang run an 8.87 ET. I am now wondering how much trouble I can get myself into if I put the 460 into my '94 Mustang instead of my '71 F-250.

Unfortunately, practicality will end up winning out.

Oh yea. That was my original plan until I realized that would put me without transportation for a few months until I got everything done. Fortunately a week after I got the Mustang I found another V6 motor in one of the local yards out of an '89 T-Bird SC.

I got the whole motor from the oil pan to the M90 supercharger for $150. I have to get a new timing cover for it and since I have to go that far into it I am going to put new rings and bearings as well.
