The local High School has a racing team.
One of their racers is a Comet with an FE of unknown displacement to me.View attachment 1715755908
Shaved off those immense front shock towers and installed coil overs.
I think I saw it run 11.10s at Famoso.

An FE? Dammit, what throwback archaic motor. I love them, though. They can make a boatload of power.
 
No 7.3s EVER... (i gave mine away, it was the best and the worst truck i ever owned.)

It was the best truck ever with the Myers plow down and the long bed full of ice, tranny in granny low first, P Wag spike chains on tight and zero fucks..

You're clearly a 10%er. lol
 
Guilty as charged. Like round body falcons and galaxys and have always liked OBS ford trucks. That bronco needs to be in my driveway. But not at that price.

I love my falcon. One of my favorite old cars I’ve had.

It runs good. I need to replace the accelerator pump and mess with the brakes. Then I can road test it. It's not like it's an ongoing project. It's a back burner kinda thing. I have a friend who wants it pretty bad, but as with anything he buys, he wants to lowball the hell out of me. Piss on him.

i used to plow with my bronco and for driveways, that thing was awesome
it would push plenty and turn on a dime

i replaced it with an 05 F350
diesel, with a quad cab (also big enough to fit the entire family)

it pushes better then the bronco did, but also tends to get stuck sooner (not as good a tires and a ton more weight over the front axle, and none over the rear)
and it sure doesnt turn like the bronco did
 
I always liked Fords. One of my friends growing up in Orlando, FL parents drove a 64 lightweight super stock Galaxy on the street. 427 side Oiler, 2 x 4 barrels, and a 4 speed. His 100 lb mother could drive that thing, too cool. Had a line of 9” pumpkins in the garage.

I souped up an early Falcon for our local parts store owner. 170 cu in Special. 200 head, Clifford Research cam kit and headers, and a 300 Ford 1 barrel carb. It was a strong little motor in that light Falcon.

I used to have a 2000 F350 dually with a 7.3 diesel n I upgraded it with everything Banks had for it. Damn thing could be a house done afterwards. I loved that truck.
Hate to say it but I’m working on a 1970 Cougar XR7 convertible at the same time as my 66 I brought home the other day.

Always liked the Cougars, strange that I have not owned one, well not a classic one, I did have a 1978 Cougar once.
