Holy Mexican Mackerel!

Happy Cinco de Blammo.

Dual quad FoMoCo cupholders?

I don't know if the bore is big enough for wine racks?

And now kiddies we know why it is wise to use a block with 4 bolt mains and/or in the case of a SBF minimally a truck block when putting a blower on one of those engines. A 5.OL SBF passenger car block just won't hack it.

Didn't know there was a difference, but not into fords either. Seens both GM and Chrysler are owned by big brother I may just turn into one though.

Saw a 347 stroker do that a few years back under a 250 shot of nitrous. You can only push mushmetal so far...

I swear 1 of those kids every month does this at the drag strip.
Boost or fog the crap out of a 302 and spread it everywhere.
I've never seen one likethat
302 fox bodies buzz all around here like june bugs. The local high school team is the Mustangs, so every kid around has to have one. A lot of their parents actually buy em for them brand new.

I've whomped on 2 or 3 of them that thought they could pick on my poor old dilapidated delta. Apparently word travels fast around high schools, because mustang and ricer kids give a friendly wave at me now.

Hee, hee! I've made a believer out of a few Mustang drivers with my '62 Starfire. I remember one kid that nearly went into shock when a bald old man in a then 45 year old car left his brand new Mustang Cobra in the dust after giving him a car length. It's not nice to mess with serious 394 Olds power!
