sorry, yeah...it was just a continuation of my
mission in life to get more guys to rock pink.
heres the 454 and the kilduff shifter w/home
made shift balls that were in my 78 vette, may
she R.I.P. wherever she is..
as far as guys saying its a girly color, if the 6ft3
and 350lbs dont convince them, i just tell them
im straighter than the pole their mama used to
dance on, and to shaddap....

Story I heard is you can't fly from Canada into the US right now but you can drive, and you can't drive from the U.S. into Canada but you can fly??? Something like that, maybe it's backwards. Anyway, Happy Independence Day!
I sort of laughed when I read south of the border. I was thinking Mexico... North of the border means Oklahoma. Typical Texan.
Oh, probably off topic, but I saw a '68 Lincoln 460 today for 275. That'd be the 10.5:1 version C8VE heads, I'm wondering about building a truck around that. Will it fit in an S10? I keep seeing all these LS builds and it looks stupid easy to make stupid HP for cheap. I guess once they got an HO / 351 firing order, they figured out how to make power. Haha. I'm on the fence. If one fell in my lap for dirt money, I might think about it.Last edited by Beagle; July 4, 2020, 07:51 AM.Flying south, with a flock of bird dogs.

make it fit...we used a 460 out of a 69 lincoln (same basic setup) with a clay smith hydraulic cam
(actually picked for us by george striegal himself over the phone before he passed-what a great
kind man he was, and a genius to boot. ) a weiand stealth intake, an 800 edelbrock, and hooker
fox body swap headers with harland sharp rollers, and stuffed it in little bros 86 stang. we did
weld in subframe connectors before the swap, but still--
during the 'break in' initial 500-1000 mile period (so he was babying it since the motor was new)
it started pulling the upper rear control arm mounts out of the floorpan....again, he wasnt even
beating on it yet, this was just normal driving. too much torque! so a pair of battle boxes
were welded in.
with the built matching C6 and a 2200 converter with a 3.08 rear gear, on 17 inch cobra wheels
and a lowered front/rear (not optimized for straight line) suspension it ran 13.03....at 126mph!!!
he couldnt come off the line for crepe, but that 126mph trap speed should be a low 11/ high 10 car.
and this was on a stock (even reused original pistons) rebuilt "rings/bearings/gaskets/oil pump/
cam and krylon" short block.
those early 10-1 piston 460s are freaking beasts, id buy it in a second and try to make it work--if i
couldnt fit it in an s10 then id go find something that i COULD fit it in! they do make 460 swap kits
for rangers-maybe a bit of 'kit bashing' would get you there?Last edited by fatguyzinc; July 4, 2020, 08:36 AM.
