This little guy really scoots so it is not for the faint of g force. The fuel requirement is mandatory so if You do not have access to racing fuel don't consider this one.....no amount of octane booster is going to work......The engine build is of high compression due to the original factory 10.7 compression. The block has been decked once and heads squared up with FelPro .040 head gaskets giving a .0385 Quench.

I found the truck in 94 with 88k and one owner, it was used around a vineyard in Sonoma Ca. for 11 yrs. After that it was Garaged in Tustin Ca, until I bought it. Fortunately The Son who inherited it after his Dad passed kept it in running order with less than 1600 miles traveled from 1980 to 94.....It is a genuine GT with all the parts the way it sold, bench seat, 9" posi, 4bbl windsor, a/c, p/s, front disc brakes.

I have worked most of My life on hot rods, including several years on Shelby Mustangs and Cobra's. The Ranchero here is the hot rod I built for Myself, it is rock solid without a drip on the ground. Each bolt and part is in good order and very well sorted. The presence of the rust is the biggest drawback. Otherwise the stripes are fading and beginning to fray at some edges, these are still available through Dearborn Classics.

Ford Mustang EcoBoost has fake engine soundtrack

Wed, 24 Sep 2014

The 2015 Ford Mustang EcoBoost represents a huge change for the Blue Oval as the first pony car in decades to be available with a four-cylinder engine. But a recent tweet (below) from Road & Track raised our curiosity about the new vehicle. Editor Jason Cammisa pulled a fuse while driving the latest 'Stang with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, and he found that both the stereo and engine went quiet in the cabin. That indicated the coupe might have some form of artificial engine sound being piped in - a feature not previously heavily reported for the model. Autoblog spoke with Ford engineer Shawn Carney who confirmed that only the turbocharged four-cylinder Mustang comes with this system, called Active Noise Control.

Watch this awesome R/C car chase scene made with cardboard and glue

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

It never ceases to amaze us how much video production talent you can find on YouTube, especially when considering movies like Battleship actually exist on the silver screen. It's even better, of course, when cars are involved, which is why we can't stop watching this car chase between a pair of radio controlled Ford Mustangs.
Racing through a detailed set built in the middle of a public street using just "cardboard, hot glue and spray paint," this video is possibly even greater than The Greatest R/C Car Chase Ever that we saw last year. With the exception of a fruit stand and/or a plate-glass window being carried across the street, this has all the makings of a classic cliché chase scene.
Scroll down to watch the scaled-down action ensue as well as the full-scale conclusion.
