    Well you better get rid of the EPA at the same time because lead is bad for the environment and burning gunpowder has a carbon footprint. Getting rid of ammo is just part of going green pal.

    There will be emissions testing in all states before long. After market exhaust and modifications will get you a failing grade. I knew this crap was coming long ago. The "Coal Burning" diesels will be a target.

    Florida is a Free State.
    No emissions testing or mechanical inspections.
    Want to put a 460 with hot cam, two 4 barrels, headers, no cats, free flow exhaust into your 1994 F-150? No problemo.

    well, I DO have the '88 F-150 that's been sitting since 2006 when I bought my brand spankin' new GMC.
    She's got a 302, 5 speed manual, dual exhaust with glass packs and no cats, and is a shortbed. Long beds are not hot rod material, just like 4 door sedans aren't.

    My plan was an Edlebrock 4 barrel and street manifold, headers, Crane cam, MSD distributor.
    But, at my age, and with my lack of money, it will probably remain a 302 fuel injected, computerized truck. Fords are a little flexible about how much cam you can run, so that will be maximized. Plus, shorty headers that will match right up to my existing system.

    The big drawback to carbs today is you have to run non ethanol, and even then can not let them sit up without running.
    I buy 89 octane non ethanol for my small engines from an oil company in Georgia, and it runs 60 cents (at least) more than regular E-10, and with Senile Joe at the helm that will probably be pushing $5 soon.

    Naw, i'm going to build a farm truck that has some balls instead of a toy.

    Excellent plan! Stick with the Farm Truck Renovation; The Hot Rod will just be another Chick Magnet, you old stud you!

    The feds have no business trying to regulate hotrodding. But the stupid, tone deaf and blind chimps, that are the EPA, will probably try to. Washington DC is a cancer on America.

    And those replicants of humans, who reside in DC, and hate powerful cars: are reproducing faster than real people in America, who like fast cars.

    The out look is grim.

    Wyoming is also a free state, you can go nuts with intake exhaust etc. There are Federal laws against modifying stock exhaust/converters, etc. Emissions testing is coming, count on it. Right now the Feds are more interested in disarming us and don't want to get sidetracked.

    America will always be home to the hot-rodded, insanely modified, fire breathing road runners. It's what we do.

    EPA's next big target under Biden will be Manufactures. Those that make tuners and parts. Auto and motorcycle manufactures are behind it alos . There goal is to make it so a lot of repair work must be done by them our someone paying them a share of the income.
