You can replace an engine in an Aerostar bout quicker than you can replace plugs LOL!
I have replaced a few engines in them used a trans jack and take it out the bottom no joke! I couldn't afford a stocker just was wondering about the truck combo heck I'm the only person stupid enough to want to build a Nash Metro to race!

Funny you should mention the 300, I was the one that asked for hp off last time around and was denied. It's at 190 and factory is 155. I could see it at 140-160 but to start at 190? naw, build a 302 car instead.

I thought about a mid 70's 302 at 140hp or whatever, that could be interesting. Be a bitch to get the vehicle in the guide now I would imagine.....

Believe it has to be 1980 or newer for a truck to get in. I tried to get the courier in several years ago. The Ford rep told me they were selling new trucks, not old ones, and refused to add it.

I know they are expensive to purchase to build as a Stocker, but I would like to see the 2011 and newer F150 pickups get into the guide...

Evan Smith had a 2000 F150 Lightning that was his daily driver and he ran it in stock a couple time back about 10 years ago and if I remember it ran real well. Lots a potential with that 5.4 modular and a blower. Would be a neat combo!

Kinda off topic but not...I had the shop transit the other day and had to turn around on the highway. (didn't want to, boss said do it) No cars close so I swung it around and floored it...it shifted at 6750!!! not 1-2 but 1-2-3. By then I was going 130km's and let off. I couldn't get over it, it just wound up and up and bang. Suprisingly quick for a full size van. tried later by myself and couldn't tell in first but in second it felt like it nosed over just before 6000.
I think it would raise eyebrows on the track!
