What was in the '86 F-150: 5 liter motor out of '94 mustang, high out put. board 40,000 over, 270 degree cam, low volume/high compression LTD, '86 in take, after market high volume injectors, street rod tranny RPM controlled, and the locker rear end............but how fast do you really want to go on a 23 year old twin eye beam suspincion. My dad wants to put that in the BMW.






And before you think that I actually know something about cars......My dad was telling me all this as I typed.

sounds like fun!

We just took that truck up the hill so my brother in law's dad can take the engine and trans out. It sucks that it didn't work, but we got a pretty good deal for selling it.

You should see my dad's entry into the "why did you do that?" group.

the "why did you do that?" group? I must be the president....just wish it was for cool stuff...I usually would here that about something I did dumb....like put that much HP in that old truck knowing how hard it was going to be to keep it together.....you know I went through 4 trans rebuilds, two sets of motor mounts, 3 rear ends, two axels, 3 drive shafts, two frame repairs, and 2 completly different transmissions (broke the bell housings).....we actually don't know how much HP that motor had...the computer said that it should have been between 800 and 1000 with the build we had on that engine....interesting engine, you know on 87octain it wouldn't shut off....we had to run 110 racing fuel in it all the time...way too much compression on it

oh, I did do all that over a three year period and I DID drive the mortal hell out of it....just so you don't think that the stuff I put in it was total junk

Wow........Sounds kinda like the Camero my dad and uncle.......hot rodded/street rodde/built/modified? I don't know which word to use. But they wound up selling it to a Nascar licensed driver, the car ran one race, the engine ran two. They got it up to just under 16secs per mile, 18secs per mile is 200mph. They got their gas from an air port, and they did this in the 70s.


Damn, some day I'm gonna add my name to that group. Rather then just tell my dad's stories.
