Well right now I am enjoying a Miller High Life, the champagne of beers so I'm a little busy

Pics are always a good idea in "new guy" posts, someone might know you already, and periods just mean that you care. <-- (look i care)

Accually its a bit of a joke between me and my dad. .He has a 05 f250 4x4 with the v10, And has the same sticker but with the chevy bow tie, then my brother bought that sticker for me last christmas so i put it on, my dad came home off of a six month deployment, and couldnt stop laughing...

Tell you the truth, ford, chevy, dodge ect all all good companys, I dont mind driving anything besides imports. Infact.. I was looking at a 1995 ford f150 to tow the maro around a while back.

You should know that the K&N plus its stickers = over 100hp

I plan on doing a cam/head swap on it to get some more ponies out of the engine so i can atleast beat some of the **** around hanford

gotta add that to the sig.. and take some of the others out..


ya know.. If i place a Sphon sticker on the exaust.. perhaps it would make my cat stop raddleing.. Hmmm... and if i place IROC badges on the the engine would turn into a 350 ...

Anywho.. unless i come up onto a free 350 block (IE complete running motor) im doin a 3.4 swap.

if you put stickers on the cat, chances are, your car will just burst into flames.

we don't need another one of those.

There's a guy at my work who lives in the "valley" and his brother is selling a complete 92 for $1400. Don't know what your price range is though. Or if you want to go that route. Might be easier to trade up, rather than swap motors. If your interested let me know so I can tell him to get more info.
