nah.. good mans car..lol

I was told GMC staneded for Garage Mans Companion.


Or Generic Made Chevy

GMC::: Garbage mans can i belive is what it means. Isnt that a trashey thing?

Well guys, i figured id let you know that your first oponent is ready and waiting. I finished her about two weeks ago and she runs awsome. So, im ready when you are.

did it sit that low the last time I seen it? may have been because it was stuck in the garage. have you had it out and opened it up yet?

No, last time you saw her, she was on stock suspension. Now shes on coilovers. She can go lower. But where its at now makes it handle like a dream. Well, i have opened her up alittle. She did a 1/4 mile at 14.32 pushing 8 psi, but i can crank up the boost to the mid 20's range and pull better numbers. Ive got the boost lowered to make it more street(Snow) friendly just for the cold winter. The motor doesnt like to push large psi nubmers with it being this cold right now. When it warms up, ill really see what she can do.

And i cant wait for more updates on the Falcon. Good luck guys. keep up the awsome work

I found this.

I have been doing some thinking that it will be a long time before I will use that extra 460/C-6 so if you want to change directions I will donate it to the cause,a free 460/C-6 is alot better then a sbc/350 that has to be built and cost money so if you are interested let me know while I am feeling generous. I need to get that wagon out of my driveway and if I can find a home for the motor I can call the guy that wants the wagon and have him get it out of here. Jeff

That might some people happy. A Ford in a Ford. This bickering back and forth about Ford and Chevrolet might stop. Well actually it wont. But that 460/C6 combo would look down in the Falcon. Lets jump on this offer before he changes his mind I can take someone up there and we can pick it up in my truck. Let me know guys.

All I ask is to help me pull it and I have a truck that can handle hauling it down there,if I am going to bring a 40 home I need to get rid of the wagon in the driveway and I would like to see that motor used since its only been sitting around here for over 4 years. All the motor needs is a good carb and starter,the starter will barely start the motor and the carb is a spreadbore so I think a quadrajunk will bolt on,all I have to do is put a battery in the car and you can here it run.

COOL!! Thanks a lot Jeff. that wiould help us out and would help get the car done a lot faster. it's no problem getting a couple guys to stop up and get it out. when do you think you would want to do it?

When you want to go get it let me know ill do what i can Im free most anytime. Glad to here were not going to have to waist that nice falcon body on a chebby You knew that was coming!!!!

It's about time you got smart and used a ford motor in the falcon. The biger the cubes the better. Maybe now my Maverick won't outrun you. LOL .......TC

I will be home around 5-5:30 on wednesday the 6th and plan on working on the steering on the Falcon if anybody is interested..

I think we could pull the motor in a couple weeks,I have to get the guy who wants the body to come and pick it up shortly after its pulled. Jeff

TC there are going to be a lot of guys driving the gasser that it will be the first time on the track for them. we have to break them in with a Ford and next year toss in the chevy when they can handle more horsepower

Okay Reb you know i cant let this go Your probably right about some things but about blue horsepower you got that All wrong its the other way around with a stock 460 the guys will have a tough time keep-in the wheels from breaking loose something you Chebby guys know nothing about cause you never experienced it Thats why their First On Race Day!!! STAYING TRUE TO THE BLUE Hope we have plenty of baby wipes after the Chebby boys run they may need to freshen up.

Baby wipes for what to wipe the tears away when we have to say good bye to our families when we head off to jail for robbing a bank buy parts for it when it blow's?????

I'm not even going to get involed in this one............Maybe a Hemi would be the answer!!!!!!! LLOL

We as a group could sell all our blood and still not afford valve covers for a HEMI..lol

Yeah, a ticket for a ride like that would be really really really....expensive.

I'll be in the garage working on the gasser later this afternoon if anybody is interested, call first to make sure I'm here if you are coming out.. I have to sign the boy up for baseball today after 1 p.m.But plan on spending a few hours out there....FEB/9/08 Ryan

Jeff when do ya think we can pull that engine? we are at a stand still untill we get the engine and rearend.

Next saturday will be a good time to pull the motor,I am also going to throw in a mallory unilte distributor that is on the 460 that will be goiing in my 66 F250. It does not have a vacumn advance so I will be putting in a factory duraspark,the unilite might need some repair as sometimes the motor would just shut off but would restart but I dont know if it was how it was wired up or a bad ignition switch in the donor truck.
