It can be bought.


STG turned down 15k last year for it with the old motor. Probably take 20 to get it now but most of that is motor.

That's my 95 f-150 in those pics, it does alright for a "stock" truck...

As I've been told, it's runs better than it should for what it's got into it. Especially with 200k on the odometer and the original stock bottom end.

Kris, that was Mountainview. Here's your vid:



And my old 150 in running in the same class (C= 39.5" and down, DOT). And to keep this thread on topic, I am running a factory LS in the rear with the carbon clutch kit that is for the Cobra Mustangs. I have done many a race and spin both rear tires ALL the time!:



Oh, and for reference, I run against this guy normally, and have beaten him a few times with the old truck! He was on NOS and cuts for this run and was having ignition problems, but anyways:

Can't blame it all on the MSD box, you were the knuckle head that mounted it right next to the radiator in the hot engine bay! The dizzy was something with that block, so I'm glad you broke it!

edit: and I have to mention that was the old 466 in your truck, so things might be different with the new motor and you actually shifting like you should! Quit the dang 2nd gear starts and hope to make it through deal!
