Check out our sponsor Dave Osborn's new Mustang: Dave said: "Just a little back ground on this car. The Guy who had this car build was in some kind of industial accident, and he lost an arm. He won aprox 1-1 1/2 million after taxes. There was no expense spared on this car. Every piece of this car was hand fabricated. When the car was built in 90 it was a 90 gt w/under 100 miles on it. The car has a 604 cid alan root prostock motor. a turbo 400 w/a gear vendors overdrive/underdrive unit on it. ( 6 speed auto). 411 ford 9". 500 hp NOS fogger kit on it. It has been featured in Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords march of '96 and i am looking to buy all of those i can find." ...and... "That thing with 11.5 inch slicks will absolutely not hook up whatso ever. It needs a narrowed rearend. Maybe next year. Spinning the entire 1/4 mile it ran a 11.30 somewhat sideways." ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 351C 4V/FMX/3.25 Open '70 Mustang Convertible 250 I6/3 speed/2.79 Open '72 Mustang Sprint Hardtop 351C 4V/FMX/4.30 Trac Loc '94 F-150 XL 5.8L/E4OD/3.55 Limited Slip

...in a word: WOW!! Secondly, I hope Dave doesn't plan on turning it much more than about 3000 rpms, 'cause I'd say that dinky air cleaner won't allow enough air in to feed a hungry 604 cubic inch mill!! Ryan
