    Engine swap 4,7 to 5,2!

    you could swap it, but you would have to change every thing over, as in wiring harness, computer, and anything 5.2 related. i dont think the 4.7 tranny will bolt up to the 5.2, so you would have to deal with that also. then there is the gauge cluster to contend with. it could get expensive. you...

    Roadkill doing a duster

    guess I've watched about every episode of theirs on you tube. it sure is nice to watch something where they don't get mad and throw wrenches and trash cans at each other and have to bleep out every other word. don't need all that drama, just some crazy car guys.
