Good..... that's where my work ends. I'm not into V8s. Never felt the need.
I will say though, a mate of mine years ago bought a Pontiac Parisienne. What a car. We used to call it the aircraft carrier. Sooooooo long, and yet, only two doors. Assembled in Australia too! Think they may have used the wings off decommissioned WW2 DC3s to form the doors......
But, I digress....

Look out for Todd K. - he's a convicted serial killer!!!
My favorite V8 is the Chrysler 426 Hemi. It broke NASCAR top speed records that have not been beaten to this day, and is still the block of choice for present-day drag racing.

It will also do low 11's in the 1/4 mi- but you can't see the truck from the Tree because of the soot.
Awsome!
Coworker of mine has a mid '90s F350 4 door all tweaked out. He took me for a ride once and I was very, very impressed with the performance of such a big truck. He said look behind us so I did and I couldn't see the tailgate.
I forget how much boost he is running but he can't figure out why he keeps lifting head gaskets.

If it is a mid 96 and after square bodied F series then it has almost the same motor, same block and heads-minus the intercooler and with a smaller Garrett T1 Turbo and lower volume injectors and diesel oil pump. The 7.3 is a CI block w/ CI heads, (6) head bolts per cyl (only 10mm stock)
and prone to stretching with a programmer and or exhaust restriction removal, ((oh yeah, mine has no Cat or Muffler whatsoever 4.5" from the Turbo back)) and they are known for blowing the LR corner's HG. Larger head studs ( 16mm ) upgrade allow you to increase the torque on the heads by about 60% and are rated at 1000hp- well worth the 6 bills.

Well, I didn't want to bash my RC10T, it was in such nice shape. But, I was in need of a basher. So, I sold the 10T to Sharkman and used the money to put towards buying this bad boy. Factory Team RC10T4 with...

What if you designed a small Asian city with RC in mind? It might look like Seo-Gu Incheon metropolitan city in South Korea. A bunch of enthusiasts came together and pushed for the city to include on-road and off-road tracks into the spaces beneath...

A friend's daughter taught English there until COVID. I can just imagine a bunch of Koreans speaking south Mississippi redneck.

Has anyone seen this setup by matsucars? It incorporates 4 Servo's and a quad servo control box, which adjust the suspension when the vehicle get's angled. Very Cool idea.

It's neat tech but all I can think, is can it be used to make an RC hop like a lowrider with hydraulics?
Every person who has ever made a paper airplane when they were a child is like man, where was this when I wanted it. I had this idea, but I was too young to do anything about it. What i used to do is make a balsa wood frame with my official boy...
Quite honestly I’m just done with Oregon. The wife would make more money due to lower taxes, and with her job being transitioned to remote anyway it just makes sense. Since I work from home it doesn’t matter where I’m located. We could easily sell...
