    4.2L 255 from 81 Mustang

    I won with ease. It feels good being in front after the 1/4mile :D Just FYI it was a 90 3.1V6 Camaro RS that I raced. I think I have a solid 15sec ride now. Need to go to racetrack with lights to find for sure. Its a 3hr drive but Im sure all you guys wanna know the numbers ;) hehe

    WANTED: Your opinions on 2.3L reliability...

    Know a guy who has a Ranger that has over 400K miles on it!! He picked up my 2.3 for it just for piece of mind. We all wanted to see it hit 1/2 million but it had a wristpin knock and he drives over 200miles daily and was afraid to get stranded. Its amazing
