‘Mater’ Joe,appreciate you letting us know what happened,like you said,you’ll make it right for whatever it takes! Hey! That ‘stroked’ 347 is a ‘contender’ for it’s size! My friend Jimmy’s son,built one,and stuck it in an 88 Ford Ranger ( 5 speed, tubbed 9″ narrowed rear). I helped him hook up a nitrous system for it. Then came the road test! I was ‘VERY” impressed,with how strong it ran,either with,or without the laughing gas! A mean ‘street-machine’! I know you’ll be happy wit yours also Joe! 😮 😉 😀

Mater’ Joe,question: Are your ‘peepers’ as sharp as your camera up close? Or like a bunch of us ‘ole’ farts,who have to ‘ zoom’ in on objects like this, with magnified eye glasses? 🙄 :geek: 😮 😆

‘Mater’ Joe,Mikey and I are only ‘jokin’ ya about the bumpers,and luv ‘bustin’ ya a bit every once in a while about them! Hey,if it gets done….it gets done by the Dover 5.Right now,no doubt you’ve got an ‘overfilled’ plate on your hands between business,garden (the ‘lower 40 we kid you about) and the ‘tech-assembly’ work on those ‘blue ovals’,which is a full time job,in itself! Please don’t take any offense Joe,ya know we love ya! Keep the pace!!!! 😉 😀 Pete.
