What if you could see Raw Power?

FinsnFur · February 20, 2008, 08:15:05 PM

Ever wonder what it would look like

Look no further

Sorry.......I was moving everything out of the driveway so I could have someone come in and pull some snow out of it. I walk back towards the shop and looked back seeing the sun burn through the dual exhaust....and I had a moment.

I can see the power just waiting

But I am sure the snow just has to suck

FinsnFur · February 20, 2008, 08:31:24 PM

It's beyond sucking at this point. Were used to it up here, but mannnnnnn enough is enough.

Jim,

Let it warm up, drive about 40 mph, slam on the breaks, and that snow will come right off the hood. Especially since I know you have a good layer of wax on your truck.

I thought you were in the truck. I guess thats not your punkin head above the steering wheel tho is it??

Maybe that's Calvin driving.

:roflmao: :roflmao:

I like Fords too but I just can't get past that annoying damn whine under the hood.

bigben · February 21, 2008, 03:02:16 PM

are you serious?

needs a bowtie on the front to even be considered to have raw power.

on the flip side I am a chevy man myself but have a soft spot in how the older fords like yours looks. whatever happened with the classic looking truck? I have a 1985 chevy that Is a work horse and now I drive a 93 chevy shortbed and love it. even if it only gets 12 mpg.

FinsnFur · February 21, 2008, 05:03:04 PM

HaMeR...what whine? Ever hear of Power Steering Fluid

Speaking of whine...you'd really hate this truck then. When I built it I put in Edelbrock timing gears instead of a timing chain.

It whines like it's got a blower.

bigben · February 21, 2008, 05:40:32 PM

throw a set of boggers on and some cherry bombs and ya wouldn't need a stereo. you would never be able to hear it anyhow.

one thing I have always wanted to do was drop a 350 small block between the frame of a s10. a buddy of mine had a s10 blazer that was awesome. you could hear it comin from a mile away. it was all camed up with timing gears. had dual flows runnin and that thing sounded like heaven. man I can't wait for 410 sprint car season to come. aint nothin better then hearin a 400 small block with 900 ponys flyin around the top of a oval.

three more days.

bigben · February 21, 2008, 05:45:16 PM

But wouldn't the yotes hear ya comin'?

I know the guys up north some where having problems because if a coyote heard a truck coming they would boogie because of the houndsman.

Nice ride Jimbo.

Growin up we had a '77 two wheel drive with a 460 in it.

I deflated several ego's with that thing. It would
beat a lot of the Camaro's and Trans Ams. Guys would hate it.

I would have to go down to the local Co-op station
fairly regularly and buy there used tires cause I kept burnin em off. Thought dad wouldn't notice and I was gettin away
with it, until I found out years later he knew.

I also had a "77 with a 4" lift, 33x12.50R15's on it, not an
ounce of rust, new paint, perty sweet ride. I had the pleasure of rollin that one end over end, sidewase a few times one
winter evening.

Now I have an '01 Yukon, and a '93 Z71 ext cab 4x4.

FinsnFur · February 22, 2008, 04:16:01 PM

geeeez, remind me to never borrow you my truck Scott

Bigben, it already does have boogers on it. 34" TSL Super Swampers to be exact. Dual Exhaust?.......that's just a gimme.

I was gonna video it setting there idling. With Edelbrocks Performer Plus cam and the 2" high rise it lopes like a helicopter. Ya gotta love it...too bad it costs so much run it. I've had it for sale twice and chickened out before selling it.

iahntr · February 22, 2008, 05:25:43 PM

ah come on, I'm a good driver, just used to be a little crazy.

You guys are killin me, first Al's "layin" stuff, and now you got 34" "boogers" on your truck.

:roflmao:
