Well, many know me around the Houston area, i have had third gens and lots of them since i was about 18 or so, but i am also know as a street grinding, pavement pounding hot rodder, i gave up the street racing since i grew out of it, but the 89 RS has hurt many a feelings and best to date on motor was a 11.18, 1 pass at the 1/4 and got kicked for no roll bar, never ran it at the 1/4 on nitrous, but the car has seen few tail lights and is no a show ride, it is a street leathal bruiser, stock 2002 6.0, just carbed and cammed, with e T56, 4.30 12 bolt. With an automatic, im sure it would have gone even faster, but i drive the fire out of this thing, so no 3 speed for me, and i do not want to conver to a 4L80 to reliable handle power in a OE 5 speed car.
Gets tons of street time, so the engine bay gets DIRTY.
This is the wifes TA, had this car fro a long time, 86 model, started life as we got it with a TBI 5.7, ran surprisingly well, beat it for years, swapped to a 355 for a bit and after the 6.0 experience, said hell with that and sold it for a 5.3 swap, 7200 RPM is just way more fun, what can i say? 2008 5.3, 317 heads, cammed of course, TH400 TCI trans, has a 3000 converter, needs more, but i will be going with a smaller cam later that will work better, this current was intended for boost which was abandoned later after the engine was in.
Then the most recent, the 85 TA i gave my little brother, just got it finished motor wise a few weeks ago, to hell with small blocks i say, LS swap everything, it is not what a motor can and cannot do as far as possibilities, it is factory parts that rev to the moon and cost nothing to throw together, sorry SBC lovers. This is a 2001 5.3, stock with a carb swap, and as far as i know, i may be the first to make a carbed ls swap work with a stock hood, AND a air cleaner, thanks to the formula hood, but it has now bnen done, paint to come soon(or primer...):
This is a recent buy from a friend, sitting at my place, it is a 90 RS, has a TBI 5.0, will be getting ditched for a 5.3 and 4L60 swap, EFI this time, will be a very nice ride, 305 smokes and the 700R was rebuilt not ling ago, so a good trans and worn motor will be FS soon:
And here are some random videos of the first three:

Yes, i know i am big and ugly, no one needs to tell me from the first video, LOL.
And yes, my stock cammed 6.0 yankes the tires a few inces off the pavement at the track all motor:)
