| Engine: |
At the moment it has a straight 6 with a 3 on the tree.Next spring it'll have a 425hp, 500 ft/lb (est.) Marine 460. |
| Drivetrain: |
I have a Pro-Built C-6 with a TCI 2000 stall converter ready to install. I also have a 9" 3.00:1 Locker rear pilfered from one of my parts Rancho's. |
| Notes: |
It has taken 4+ years and 3 parts cars to get one good one. I plan to have it painted Grabber Blue with the Flat black hood. I have another set of fenders and doors that are at the shop getting ready for paint, |

This is the soon to be installed engine! I hope it doesn't twist the car apart (although that would be impressive).

Wow, it seems a shame to put a drum on this work of art. This non-power, front drum, braking system should have about the same 60-0mph stopping distance as a fully loaded coal train.

It does look kinda mean from this angle. The 460 should squat her down a bit.

Here is parts car #1 after all the good stuff has been removed. Not for the Ranchero owner weak of heart. But yours just became that much rarer.
