    You can build up one of the fleet like that Ozzie beast, or do you need a parts car? :biglaugh:

    All that potential just sitting there in the yard. You gotta help it bloom, give it a chance to show it's stuff before the smelter gets it. :cry: :) :bouncy:

    The 2L Ford is still used in racing today. In fact, you can't find these motors any more and some circuits are considering specifying more available motors. But to saying the Ford 2L is a Cosworth is like saying the Toyota 22R is a 750HP GPT motor... both are true is the loosest sense.

    Well, the Rev wants to reduce his Fleet of Falcon Wagons, so he could take the challenge and make a ratrod out of the Pinto fleet. :biglaugh: At get it up to a RevWorth, if not a Cosworth. The guy needs a new focus. :evilsmile: :biglaugh:
