Setups like that thrown into something suitably brown and square. Say a Diplomat with steelies or a Mirada.
Ooh, slab sided Dakota with V6 badges!
WHY AM I SO WANTING TO BE AN FILTER DEFYING SHINY HAPPY PERSON FOR NO REASON?

Hey neat, filter missed something.
I have a knock or ping in my Ranger. Thinking of what more powerful engines would mate with the 4cyl transmission.
I was almost considering getting another RB and dropping it in. That is if the knock ends up = a bad block.
So, you're not alone.
Tell me about it.
I just had a "fun" thought that this motor would actually probably fit in a Miata.

That's an acceleration run up to 215mph, btw.

I just don't get it, I see an AWD minivan, long wheelbase and two sliders, and I think "Hey, that would make a decent junkyard crawler." And then part of my brain goes "eff that, boost it till it explodes and make a soccer mobile of doom!"
I see the things other people do dumb things with and wonder how I would make it more useful as a daily driver. Then spend all of my time trying to dream up oddball deathtraps.
For some reason recently, I've been daydreaming about getting a black, late '80s Crown Vic and putting a Coyote motor in it to have my own personal version of the Men in Black car. Fasten your seat belt.
Did you HEAR the video??? That's why you and I both want to boost everything known to man. Here's a little fuel for the evil genius:

No boost, but I approve of this: Ice drag Civic with a 440.

Yes.

No, that's driving in a straight line alone.

Lol good point.
Either way, that's balls.

Exactly, real ice racers turn corners and there are other cars there.
In reply to iceracer:
Wheel to wheel ice racing FTW.

A 5th Ave with the padded vinyl top, full wire wheel covers, and crushed velour bordello interior would be better:

Retard isn't filtered.
