Old school member coming back ( CHICKEN )

[Chicken]

We’ll I’ve not grew in 4 years . But here lately I’ve been smoking cigars . I haven’t bought a pack of cigarettes in months .

All my past grows I nailed them . Now this coming year I’m going to try my luck at the cigar varieties. A lot has changed in my life some for the better and some for the bad .

I’m a founding member of F.T.T. But I’m far from a normal fellow . So approach me with caution.

I did go back to old school and got me a 77’ DODGE POWER WAGON. Boy I’ve done a lot to this truck !

I haven’t installed that 4-barrel yet
Still polishing everything. But damn it’s a sexy combination!!

Have you measured your hood clearance for that high-rise intake manifold and the 4-barrel (plus air cleaner)?

Not yet . But if the hood needs a hole —-it’ll get a hole

The truck started life as a military truck ( it has the nomenclature plate in it )
Then it was a Florida forestry truck.
Then a volunteer fire fighter truck.
Sold at auction. Bought by a local dodge guru to pull scrap with . Too bouncy for his wife . Parked for 2 years .
$3250 it was mine and not running but guaranteed.
HEI distributor woke it up. And she purrs like a kitten . With a clothespin on its tail !!

Get 'er done! Which engine?

I had a former Alabama state truck 4x4 with short bed. I think it was early 80's model due to plastic grill. 318 engine. It was a rugged truck and those 318's would run forever.

The mysteries of the human brain. Twenty years ago, I used to spend hours poring over every page of each new Summit Racing Equipment catalog that would arrive in the mail. I think they owe me a few shares of stock for all of my investments. Edelbrock intake, Rhoads lifters, Holley carburetor, ceramic coated header pipes, K&N air filters, MSD ignition system, oil cooler, exhaust resonators, chrome wheels, etc.

It's scary, how much money I spent on stuff hidden under that rusty, 1974 F-150 hood. Nobody ever saw any of it, unless I twisted an arm, and opened the hood. My rebuilt, bored and stroked 302 Windsor V8 was so powerful that it burned out its fancy, new crank shaft bearings in less than 60,000 miles. ~$2800 in glitzy parts, for brief satisfaction.

Pick one::

1. performance
2. longevity

Mines a 318

This was a comical day for me.. in my area they have a car show at the local Hardee’s… uninvited.. I backed into a spot—threw my hood up—-and went inside to get a coke !!
The crowd that left the Muscle-cars to see the power wagon. Surprised me.

I think I built a head turner because people sure do look at it hard in on coming traffic .
