It.......

I had a '72 cougar with a HO 351 cleveland and a FMX tranny. I slapped a Crane Fireball cam in that sucker and could smoke the tires at will. I also had a '75 Mach II with a 302. I pulled that electronic ignition and put in a dual point Accel distributor. Fkn thng hauled *** and handled unlike any early car I ever had. I destroyed that car and a relationship all in one stupid moment.

When everyone hated the 400M I built one with custom made TRW flat top pistons and austrailain closed chamber heads. I was young and didn't understand the torque curve vs. gear ratio and convertor issue.

This Torino could could easily cruise at 120+ (2.73 rear gear) and actually handled well. I drove from Southern Illinois Unversity (where my girlfriend blew me off) to the north side of Chicago in 4.5 hours. I had that 120 speedo burried most of the way. No joke.

My second to last X, Who is still a good friend can verify that that Torino could easy cruise at 100+ for hundreds of miles. No bullshit.

I forgot to add this.....Mopar fans will hate me. Nothing in the world sounds like a 351C or 400M ford at 6K. It's just sweet. I hope I can choke on these words. Doktor X heard my truck and said it just sounded "Evil"! He hasn't even't had the priviledge of slamming this 5200 lb truck in second to pass some freakin' BMW on the highway, LOL!

I have! And its worth every freakin' penny
