slow ride (redux)

[joedoh]

there are a lot of people who think a 4 cylinder would be underpowered and tantamount to blasphemy. they talk about how heavy the 60-66 is and that it would never be able to keep up with traffic. those people are just wrong. it wont win any stoplight races, but it drives like a normal truck and will out accelerate a stock 60-66 6cyl 3spd. It has a lot of pep, and the stock hp/tq numbers are very close to this engine, with better gearing, no granny gear 1st and more gears in the middle. If I ever want a v8 it will almost drop in but I really dont see it happening, I'll leave the V8s to the guys who want them and the associated costs.

I had videos of the truck in traffic in the old thread, I will try and find them.
