My friend Tim C has a mid 80's Ranger, I think its either a 83 or 84 4cyl. He's got a 351 Windsor he's gonna build up and shoe horn into that baby.
My old Mustang Diane is sort of a sleeper. Its not really all that quite, but it doesnt sound like a rip roaring beast. Shes got stock hub caps, White wall tires and stock body with the exception of the exhaust exiting throught the rear valance panel like the 65-66 GT's did.
Check out the pics of her on Users rides and tell me if she looks like a sleeper.
I already have cars that can hang with the whole Pony Car crowd, like Camaro Z28's and Trans Ams, now I'm setting my sights for higher prey, like the Vettes, and more exotic cars.
I'm looking to make a Eleven second car, I know thats not blindingly fast, but fast enough to kick over 95% of whats out theres butt. So far, the Falcon seems like the best and cheapest way to go. There was a 62 falcon here for sale for 500$ that was 100%straight and rust free, and it ran and drove. Now with a built up 289 or 351, in that light a$$ car should cook some pavement. I'd probably have to go with a 351 Windsor to reach my 11 second goals if I want to do it without forced induction and Nitrous ("nos" if you talk like the Fast and Furious).
