Hi, from Anchorage Alaska.

Post by mqjames »

I have a 1967 F250 Camper Special that I would like to "soup it up" but use it as a summer daily driver I could use some advice....Please. It has a 390 or possible a 352 thats been turned into a 390 needless to say the engine has problems so I would like to replace it. What could I do for $6000 to $8000.....I want to burn some rubber!

Thanks
