After 20 some years I finally scratched the itch

[Romax]

1991 SS 454 with 112k miles. Wanted one for years. Kids are now grown so it's time for my beautiful bride and I to spoil ourselves a little. As I walked out to pick it up she mumbled "hardwood floors next month." And I'm okay with that.

really cool truck. get a good alarm system.
clean classic trucks like that are a hot item
with car thieves.

Upgrade the brakes. I wanted one many years ago till I tried to stop the one I test drove. I'd put a hydro boost system on it if possible. Performance trucks .net has how to threads on the swap.

Be safe these are known to bust cylinder walls over heat

Clean looking. They did a H/C/I swap in Spike TV many years ago on one against a 1st gen Lightning that got a turbo. The 454 lost, but made fantastic power for not a huge amount of money.

NICE !
I have always admired these trucks as well. I have even considered building my own version. I thought about an 88-93 roller stepside with an era correct non-stock 454 in it but with a 5 speed and 2:73 or 3:08 posi rear end. Painted red with black paint on the bottom, leveled out, cowl hood, dual exhaust, black wheels and wider tires.

I agree, I have never really liked any Ford trucks. The old SS 454's are great looking trucks.

Beautiful bow tie you have there. Looks like fun!

Thanks guys! I'm planning to do a few tasteful mods. Cowl hood, rear disc brake conversion, maybe some more modern wheels and headers and true dual exhaust plus a chip. I don't plan on pushing the stock engine to hard. It has pretty good power off the line but I can tell its pretty corked down right now.
