| | | Fast Truck
I had an old video clip of it and ended up finding it already loaded up on Youtube. This was a guy down here with s/c'd 347 in his Explorer running at Moroso, still towed and daily drove it. They banned him from the track for a year for running with no roll cage, that's why you'll notice him let off and hit brakes to keep from running full out, then said f' it on the last run. This was with about 490 rwhp, then if I recall they tuned it to about 600 rwhp and last I heard it was getting a tear down and custom turbo setup. He never did get to use the nitrous, I remember him embarrassing some Ferrari owners that wanted to race him lol.
Wystang on here I think will remember the truck, think they sold him the Cobra hood that they formed to fit the truck. Couple years ago I was talking to the shop about dropping in the 03' Cobra engine into the other Mountaineer I had and going all out but ended up not doing it, man that would have been fun though lol.

| | It was pretty fast but it's still a truck. It's ok if you like going in a straight line. I would take the Ferrari and race him on a track anyday.  |

Besides, the F-car would fall apart on the track after getting humped by the Bull

| | | Yup that's it we sold them the 96 cobra hood and they in turned cut the center section out of both the explorer hood and cobra hood. They they just placed the cobra section on the explorer and molded it perfectly (if I remember correctly). The motor fit nicely in there and sounded pretty good to say the least.
