Arrow change of car

Well guys, sorry to say it, but I'm not doin the 240 anymore. I had a change of style. I still love the Nissans and will stay on the forums, just with a different car. So here it is: 1973 Ford Gran Torino Sport. 302 V-8, headers, dual exhaust and a bigger cam. I got a 429 Cobra Jet on the way.

dude you have been asking about RB swaps, and all sorts of 240 questions over the last couple months, how could you just roll over like on the 240 like that....... Hope to see you and your Torino on the street.

Yeah, I know. The motor blew in my 240 and only had the cash for the Torino. I figure with a little cash I can have a fast car real easy. Plus, I grew up around V-8's and I know them the best.

Well, MrRonatron, this car is not too bad in the turns. It has adjustable air shocks in the back. It also has some giant coils all the way around. I do miss my 240 alot, but it was time to get back to my roots
