[QUOTE="blksn8k, post: 1002776, member: 64142"] LaRue, I can't believe there is someone on here as crazy as me. Back in the 70s my daily driver (my only car, actually) was a '69 Boss 429 with 4.57:1 rear gears. Not the most efficient auto at burning gas. When the Arabs decided we needed to pay more for their oil I bought a '72 Pinto wagon, a red Squire with woodgrain side trim no less. Quite a difference, hey? But that's not the end of the story. Once gas prices stabilized a couple years later and I was sick of the 4 banger in the Pinto, I found a wrecked '65 Mustang 2+2 in a local junkyard. Out came the 289, C4 auto trans and the rear axle. With a set of custom motor mounts all those parts nearly fell into the Pinto. Later on I switched to a 351W 4V and 4-speed from a '69 Torino GT. Ask the kid with the the 340 Dart Swinger who blew his engine trying to hang with it how fast that car was. :grin: [/QUOTE]
