You'll have to wait for your embarrassment, 'Ol Bumpy's in surgery right now. Got the back half of the top whacked off, working on a removable two peice rear window/cab section. Gonna order a 12 pt cage tomorrow. Also got a line on some 1 ton 4.10 axles. Will still be powered by the same asthmatic 318TB/single ex. 360 though so don't crawl under the bed to hide. Yet.

If you add a little more power with that combination I might concede defeat. But as long as you run that drinkin` straw sized TBI setup, I ain`t scared.

Power shmower. Tell ya what, I'll air the tires up on my 20 yr old Lawn Boy and you can flail uselessly behind that. It won't start, but who cares? Be anchor enough to keep you cussin'.

When you screw that Ramcharger up enough, I have a worthless body you can replace it with. Even if the bolts are rusted to hell. My impact wrench has earned it`s keep today taking the front clip off. In the next several days I plan to pull the motor. And I can drag your Lawn Boy with that Craftsman. I have to build a new deck for it. And that 360 probably don`t have enough power to turn the tires on that thing. My modified 318 has alot more power than your hacked up chunk-o-poop. That throttle body is about like slappin` on a restrictor plate.When you blow the tires tryin` to battle my truck, I guess you can buy those 16X7 chrome rims I have. That way you can at least roll away. Even if it ain`t under power. That might cut down on the humiliation.

Double your HP. Mount that other 318 on the bed,hook it up with a bicycle chain and go kart clutch. That bigga chain is overkill,better use a belt off a swamp cooler instead.
I'll disconnect 1 injector,ree-tard the timing 270 degrees,and stuff a potato in the tailpipe. When you still lose I'll start pullin' plug wires 7 at a time,and drain the tranny fluid. If that don't work for ya I'll just use the starter.
Whatever it takes to keep it fair.

You must be smokin` crack. I could pull 7 wires, disconnect the back 2 barrels on the carb, add water to the gas, flatten all 4 tires, and drill holes in the trans pan, and I would still win.

My truck sounds like a racehorse with a fine pedigree. And there ain`t nothing cracked on my truck. But with that tiny throttle body your likely to burn a hole in a piston. That thing is bound to run lean. But when you blow it up, you can buy that 318 I just pulled from that Ramcharger. I forgot how heavy they are for their size.

Pretty good description. 1 horse power, 25 mph top speed. Yeah 318s are heavy. Excellent boat anchors.

The also make alot of torque for their size. You`ll find that out when I rip your pitiful excuse for a truck in half. And I am guessing 370 horsepower. And torque somewhere in that area. It feels pretty strong. If it weren`t for those 3.23 gears it would really be something. One day in the future I would like to put some 3.90 or 4.10s. And I jacked the back end off the ground and ran it at 65 mph.
