300 is plausible with the mods I mentioned, although 400 is pushing it without some serious internals and fuel and spark bits, as well as an ecu that will work with all the upgrades. That said dude you'll go a lot farther on this forum by not calling out people you've have probably never met, listing some 750hp engine for an XL was it? If you mean a Galaxie XL... cool, which engine is he running? I'm not flaming you yet even if it seems that way some of the guys already have and you're too new to realize, but continue like this and it'll get ugly.We will be completely rebuilding and replacing parts on the engine it wont be stock at all......My dad just told me it is a ford XL and ill show you pictures, my bad if im ticking some people off lol Tell me what you think. I just thought it would be cool to tell people what I did and think i should do to my pickup. I am not a serious motor head "i am the computer guy" lol I leave all that motor stuff up to my dad, I'll buy the parts and help him put them in and get it running when i got the money.

What's with a carbs on the v8, I've never seen them at an angle like that before?
Sterling Archer: Oh my god! You killed a hooker!
Cyril Figgis: Call girl!
Sterling Archer: No Cyril! When they're dead they're just hookers!

Hardly a ford anymore lolso I guess XJHead's 7.6x second mustang, which is street legal, would prove your fastest street car is hardly a Ford comment. Can you teach me your ways?

Asshole lol Your Driving a honda which is japanese anyway. Buy a real car like a Ford. Something AMERICAN lol... And i like putting lights and stuff on my pickup its fun, like the other guys said if you enjoy doing what your doing there is nothing wrong with it. Or something like that lolYes I drive a Honda, my Fit that I bought new and haven't had a single problem with, and my 89 CRX that's my baby. I bought a "real car" from a company, that happened to Japanese, because they made the superior product at the price point I was looking at. Sorry I would by something American if there was a company that made a car as well as Honda does for the same price. BTW I also have a 95 GMC Sierra.
By real parts I didn't mean OEM replacement, I meant quality aftermarket upgrades. You can do whatever stupid shit you want to your truck, but I'm just telling you it will look ghey, and ruin the resale value.

Ford is the best, honda sucks my buddies honda civic just blew up on him like a week ago, my honda racing dirt bike blew up on me, my honda motorcycle the exhaust valve went out in that so yeah i think i know enough to say honda blows i also had a little honda dirtbike the exhaust fell off, had 2 honda 3-wheelers that the recoil went out on, my buddies honda fourwheeler blew up on him, it was falling apart, i think i can say honda is junk if i wanted to, as for the stuff i put on my pickup i have had nothing but compliments about it because people think it looks pretty cool...as for real performance parts, like i said i will be overhauling a 2.3L I4 turbo engine for it from a Ford thunderbird lol but right now im just doing a few cosmetic things to my pickup
