I'm impressed too. That is one awesome sleeper!! I guess a 440 in a Dak IS possible. Hmm, My dad has a 440 out of a motor home in the garage he's not using any time soon!!

What springs and shocks did you use in the front suspension? I was looking to build an old A body, but this looks like a lot more fun.

LOL OMG!!!! That is friggin' awesome dude. I am assuming that it will absolutely melt the tires off of it. The only question I have is what kind of exhaust do you have? If you just have a stock style quiet system on it no one would ever know the diference from a 440 and a 3.9 or what ever a stocker would have. But you know what now you have to take some awesome burnout pics and post 'em. I hope you bust some serious Ford lovin ass out on the streets just don't get caught!!! Have fun!!!

The coolest thing about it is the hubcaps. I'm surprised it doesn't sit nose heavy. That is really freakin cool!

Well currently the suspension is the stock V6 Dakota and so is the exhaust system. I just cut the ends off of the V6 Y-pipe where the V6 manifolds attached and patched in some pipe to adapt the 440 manifolds to it. So basicilly from the joining of the Y-pipe back to the rear bumper is stock V6. I only added a front sway bar from an 87-90 Dakota that had one for the front suspension. The rear I have done nothing. And Yes, It will burn the SH!T out of the rear tires like a dragster at the track. At this time I have a stock V6 Radiator but will have a custom one made to just keep it under 210 degrees. There is no room for a manual fan so you have to run electric fans in front of the radiator. When the weather clears up around here I will post some better pics.
