    Imagine one of these in a 2900 lb car !

    You would have A maverick with a "stock 6 cyl that gets 30+ mpg and runs High tens ! :bananaman

    Frank, Russ, somebody ???:dancing:


    Here is a video showing a 6000 lb F-150 running 12.87 at 103 in the quarter.

    1. 93 octane Tune (using their tuner)
    2. Off road H pipe exhaust
    3.170 degree thermostat.

    What's this world coming to???? A basically stock truck running faster than most stock muscle cars were capable of running! It would be a very cool swap though.

    I was talking about this with my brother-in-law a couple weeks ago. It's definitely on my list of engines to keep an eye out for when I start looking for one.

    I ran a 14.6@94mph with my stock FX4 supercrew with eco weighing in at 6150 in 85 degree temps, letting the truck shift itself, 60' suck though.

    If someone does I want the LS...

    Not much doubt Chevy is back on top with the preferred engines for swaps...

    Personally, I think an EcoBoost would be great for the street...............but I would much prefer this for drag racing.....................
