      Wisconsin, no winters, very little rust. Which phrase does not fit?

      I here that the 255s are faster than a 302 because they rev quicker.
      Don't ask, it's a midlife crises thing.

          If I was filthy rich I would roll up with a mobile car crusher, give him his 5k hell I would give him 5500 and crush it right in front of his house. Then offer him the crushed carcass.

              Someone needs to go look at this car. First thing you say to the guy. "I'm looking for a car I can throw my 5.0 HO in and go fast."

                Having been in a 255 car I can say definitively that they do not rev quick.

                  111 horse is so pathetic for a V8. i don't even think there is a 4 cylinder that makes that low of power today.

                    It's a fricking 302 with a smaller bore! What a piece of shit! I could see if it were a 4" bore with a 2.537" stroke and rev the piss out of it, but not and fail. Needs a 408 if you ask me.

                        1. Get rich

                        2. Buy car

                        3. Remove engine

                        4. Install hamster and wheel in empty engine bay

                        5. Send two pictures to previous owner, one with new engine upgrade and another with his sweet 255 on a stack of papers.

                            I had a 255... there isnt much that is slower... a 93 2.3l mustang vert might be slower but not by much.
                            rides:
                            00 Yukon xl with butt warmers.
                            1986 fox body vert. that never gets driven

                              don't forget the auto tranny in that combination of 4 banger

                              my notch was originally a 2.3 auto. probably the slowest vehicle i've driven, and i've driven bigger diesel trucks.
