My drag project | 460 Ford Forum
My drag project
I have an idea that I am going to try. I have an '88 F-150 that I am building a 460 (of course!!!) to put in it and put it on the track. Am I completely stupid, or is this a good idea? You just don't see many Ford trucks on the strip, so I thought I would try it.
random-strike,
Apparently you're a new user and may not have picked up on the fact that this site is relatively "clean cut".
I don't intend to preach, I just like to keep the site at a current standard so your post has been edited.
Naaa, not stupid. You can drag race anything if you can dream it. Check out this F-100 of Willinghams. It is currently under re-constuction and is going to be bad! 8)
More pics and info on his truck here...... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/731461
don't forget the ugly old pickup that someone posted a pic of awhile back w/ the frt wheels about 3 ft in the air.....
We race a black-primered '88 Ranger with a 514. It's as ugly as homemade poop, but it jerks the front end up for 100' and hauls. Fun to drive....fun to watch.
Yep, that would be Wes Littrell's old 65 or 66 F100. It's running an 557 on alcohol. It's still got the straight axle in it if I recall correctly. Runs in the 8's.......
Wayne pretty much summed it up. If you can dream it then do it.
I think if you lowered it a little and tucked up the rear tires it would handle a lot better down track. Plus you would get cool points for being different.
OK, good. I was hoping that I wasn't comepletely insane (that's what my wife tells me anyway). I'm gonna go for it. I'll post pics when it's completed. Thanks.
