Care to enlighten us on what a "C10" is? There's no Ford designation that matches that...
As for the bulshitting, depends... I know I'd charge someone more if they called it a C10 :P

Give up gamma boy,

A C10 is a 26 spline C4, check with fomoco.com.au. superoo etc, they all call them C10s.

Walkinshaw · 07-09-2007, 08:46 PM

stiffness is directly proportional to the second moment of area of a product. i.e

Io = (PI/64)*(Do^4 - Di^4)

i.e increasing the diameter of the bar has a far greater influence on the second moment of area/inertia than increasing the thickness by the same factor.

Thus ends the geek lesson. Time for more boose.

Yeah, try asking for advice about a C10 anywhere other than victoria, people will start talking about a Chevy truck...

as I said in my post above (not the one reffering to bish's net-knob) he said LTD... fairlanes are clearly a lesser car..

why is p e nis on the swear filter??

gngtho · 07-09-2007, 08:56 PM

In my opinion its a muscle titanic.

But in all seriosness in Austraila i think the term muscle car would be directly assosiated with the 1970's style of car which raced in the touring car bracket ie: GTHO, Munro, Mopar, Torana , mostley your V8's and big sixe's ( MOPAR).

This would apply in the states were factory power houses were built and taken to the races either privatly or by the dealer.

But hey thats my opinion.

I think your extreamly wrong ive come accross vics who don't know the diff between a holden and a ford.

Never assume that people in other states of australia are dumber than vics, because if you say it that way then i say the vics also have the biggest heads. ooooooooops did offend you?

No, I was saying that the hombres in the wonderfull free state of Victoria are the only wierdos who call a pan fill C4 a "C10".

Clearly wherever you are needs to improve its level of education in two of the "Three Rs".

P6s at the time werent worth much more, not many people wanted them. Times change.

You guys should get a room, maybe a closet.

: P6 LTD in 78 was $17,000 ....... a huge amount back then and they sold 6000 of them!!!! Compared to the amount of AU & BA series LTD's combined, thats just about 6 times the amount sold in 1/2 the period of time........

Yeah I think a room should be booked!!!!!!

I find Closets are a good place to store parts for a race motor... I spose it'd be one way to get some power into a focus....

IAMSARANTOS · 07-09-2007, 09:22 PM

every one has there own opion of a muscle car if it performs more than you expected it could be for you this vehicle,say you had a stock 4 cylinder 1.6lt and jumped into a stock 5.8 lt (351) the horse power difference would unbeliveable you would prb ur self also the more $$$$ you have the more hp you obtain stock cars over the years have greater hp than their earlier model this going from 4's thru 8's and what it really boils down to is what makes you happy in looks and performance.
cheers

I prefer a shed/garage.

Standard equipment for focus, just in case

I thought that was the door key?
Sheds are good, but leaky sheds and high humidity = rusty stuff...
