hey y'all just to let you know i just finished my truck's engine this week its a 72 250 with a 360 bored .30 over dyno said it was at 445 horse at 3100 rpm and 515 torque at 2850. i cant wait til the motor is broke in im so happy. that combined with the 36" tires and 4.10 rear end and manual tranny in a 4x4 thats gonna rock the mud holes. what do you all think.

 

Well it sounds awesome...now let's see what she looks like! We need pics!

 

well she aint the prettiest thing but ill get u some pics.

 

Now I know whom to call when I get my 4-wheeler stuck in the mud holes and have to walk out.

Just kidding. Nothing a 6:1 and couple hundred feet of rope wont get me out of.

Have fun and dont get it buried to deep, at least not beyond the reach of a winch.
