    This has always been a dream project of mine. I always wanted to get a crappy ford ranger and build a tube chassis with a couple ranger pieces still in it to not get pulled over constantly.
    P.s. can you guys go into depth on engine/trans specs, its pretty hard to get anybody to talk about it beyond cubic inches/number of speeds.

    Short course offroad racing is what got me away from drag racing. My cousin, Dad, my buddy and I built Rotax 670 swapped 85 honda odysseys. There was a track in western PA that had a pilot/odyssey/utv class. My first step in the offroad world and I loved everything about it. Not to mention compared to drag racing it felt abnormally cheap. I drag raced the first 1000whp e36 328 so everytime I touched the track I knew it was going to be expensive. Once I hit my 9 second mark I was pretty much done. Oh and to return to the track a parachute was required for trapping over 150 lol

    The truck intake long runners make killer mid range power and help pull through into high rpm’s. Buddies ultra 4 was wicked fast after ls2 heads and long runner truck intake. Think it was right around 475whp vs 320whp before.

    How did the fastener come to be? The designer tripped on a ship decklid fastener and severely messed up his foot. So he came up with a flush mounted fastener. Dzuz? Duez? I can't remember. Some aircraft types have wingnut style fastener, then again you don't walk on engine cowlings.
