    Man, I sure am going to have to get a ton of money for my poor old pickup to afford all this, huh??? Besides, thanks to Jerry I have to put my triangulated 4 bar back on the shelf and build a real 4 link!!!!

    PS--I was looking at some of the 632 stuff....NEAT!!!!!

    When it's all done (raced) and sold, hope my mega inch Ford draws the same enthusiasm and expertise!!!! Still don't have a good plan in place for it----any block ideas? Gotta be bigger then your new one, Pat!!!!!

    What I should do is just put a roller cammed 383 small block in it and sell it.... Getting anxious to get back on the Ranchero anyhow.... Don't know if the extra bucks to build a real engine would increase the resale enough to justify it......

    355 chevy if it was mine it would be a bbc i just have stuff to build a low buck 496 or 454 but with fuel the way it is i think it would be hard to build and sell a car right now it would be better to sell it to someone with a option of engines ? get it all most done and sell it as turn key with color option and engine option???
