Be a great street rig. One of these days I will have enough to get a good IH street rig. Or, maybe I will get a nasty trail rig, and turn my Hooper truck into a sweet road rig <g>

The 454 would be OK, but it looks like Sherwyn Williams puked on it.

Hmmm.. I wonder where they got the special "gear drive" for the 266... <IMG SRC="smilies/laughing.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/thefinger.gif" border="0">

I dunno. Could they have it machined from something else? I'll tell you what, it coodl and all, but 14 g's is way too much...

Actually, the joke is the "Gear Drive" isn't a hotrod part at all (unlike a Chevy/Ford application).. *it's stock* like ALL IH SV 'mills.

Not a hot-rod part.. it's a dump-truck part. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
