X-mas in JUNE!! June 08, 2009, 03:01:20 PM :rollin:Looks like a got a new job that pays pretty well. Because of this, I will be putting in my new "battery" in my '88 Sport T-Bird "THOR".Quick story: I got hit on my motorcycle by a drunk driver that ran a red light. I represented myself, won the case and a settlement. Then I bought this new "battery"! ( knees still hurt, but as long as my gas pedal foot is alright ) :DYou got it! Ford "392" Crate motor!!!!
