Just the engine... My question was geared towards the article link above.

I was reading this article today http://www.dragzine.com/news/budget-3000-hp-turbocharged-hemi-road-runner-taking-shape/ and it got me thinking about the best bang for your buck.

Well, after driving the car for a few weeks I started to real...

Pictures look awesome ! Good job....

Im close enough to 75-80 where Im going to have to pay attention to the schedule and watch some of these races next season. I had no idea.

Just wanted to get opinions about my findings. Now let me say, I got these parts from my father's project that just never materialized a few years back. Now, Im trying to put them to good use. Brakes - Wilwood ProStreet #140-2274 (found no record of this part #) box is labeled with Big Ford (doesnt ...
