not too happy!
I have had my 1977 F-150,(460) completly redone everything inside is new except the crank, just needed to be polished,the cam(comp cam) is the biggest you can use with a stock torque convertor,stock heads,airgap intake,Holly street avenger 670 cfm,long headers/dual exhaust,stock distributor,roller rockers,C6 tranny,3:50 rear gears with 235x75x15 tires.I set the timming @ 12 btc.My problem is that I have a 74 f-100 stock 460 except for the 4Bbl and headers,350 gears,same tire size, when I drop the tranny in low hit the gas the tires smoke all through low gear.When I drop the built(mild) 460 into low hit the gas it won`t even break the tires loose.If I break torque the 77 it still does not have the power to break the tires loose.It is not exactly a pig but the stock 460 will show me its tail lights.I put more than a few dollars into this 77F-150 and the stock (except for the headers)74 460 beats me home every time....anyone with any ideas.Thanks in advance!

That's funny about calling out the car models going by, that's one of my early memories sitting on a bus stop bench with my mom enthusiastically calling out the cool cars going by, I was about 4 or 5...
How did you get hooked on cars?
