Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I ran across a 1 ton van at the u-pull-it with a SureGrip and 4.10 ratio. Messed around and it got away. I have one from an '84 3/4 ton 2wd pu to cut down and put either in my sons Charger or my future project (whatever that may be ). The only drawback is the truck housings have no provisions for a snubber. Tim '71 Charger 383/727 '17 Challenger SXT (Wifeys car )
