Re: Post Pictures from back in the day.

I still have all the "New Car" papers that came with my T/A....I wish I would have had the foresight to have taken a couple pics with it at the dealer when I took delivery.

Re: Budget 406 What will it make?

Why?

On a budget the 400 will make more power than a 350 and the expense for stroker parts can be saved.
