Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5

Are you going to buy a Daily Driver with the money, or just put it towards the "toys"?

Doing an AOD/t5 swap in the 5.0 and a bunch of porterbuilt suspension stuff to the C10--the rest (majority) of the proceeds are going to the '67 fund.

Re: How To: Ruin a Perfectly Good K/5

Great build, Its too bad you sold it. Hopefully the new owner enjoys it as much as they should!

67 Fastback is a pretty sweet vehicle so thats a build i'll certainly be watching. Once you get into that price range though you could almost get a C2 vette.

Yeah, she's gone to a good home. New owner tells me his family LOVES it.

As for the Mustang, there really are no alternatives. It's a '67 fastback or nothing as far as she's concerned (not even a '68 will do). I'm cool with it, but man are they pricey. I could build a killer truck for what you spend on an entry level rust bucket
