just because you know how to work on it doesnt mean you know how to drive it also, that 40 year old dick was probably driving a carb'd big block before we were even born. lastly, just because you dont have the tools/time to do the installs doesnt mean you dont know how to do it. not trying to stir the pot or anything, but come on now.

yea i agree, not trying to **** people off, it just makes me mad when older guys are giving someone crap for age. i can see if someone younger is acting like a tool, then ok. just stating age shouldnt have anything to do with someones love/passion for cars.

A lot of nice Fords on this site and past/present Ford owners. All types are welcome. I'm actually on the hunt now for a SN95 Cobra with F/I. Just so I can try something different. If I pull the trigger though, it will only be a matter of time before I am called back home (to the GM family)

Cool. My friend's SN95 cobra is on the Kocky shirt for them. He's got a 62mm turbo on a forged 4.6 with low compression. He's looking at 500whp on 13psi. It's pretty damn fast. I'm still looking to beat him with spray, though.

God forgives all of our sins, we own his motors, so we should forgive you too.
