Maybe I spoke out of turn. Have all the trucks been factored out? Still ought to be an interesting mix of cars.

Well, not a good one but the 93 f-150 with a 300 six fits U/SA but that's at 190hp! Not sure if I'd want to try that one. I had that exact truck and stock with 3.08's ran 19's I think it was. Who knows where it was on weight/etc but I'm thinking 4 -5 seconds would be pushing it.

My stock 96 (same basic truck) with the 3.08's and a K&N filter has run a best of 18.20@70 MPH. Getting it to U/SA times would be quite a task (not even sure it would be doable), but it sounds like a fun task! Now that it is wearing out a little bit, I was starting to toy around with the idea of rebuilding it anyways...

Drop it to 155hp like the carb'd one would help, but man, dropping 6 seconds? That's quite a bit, especially when your looking at a 143hp 302 sitting in the corner.... not lazy, but not crazy either! LOL!
