[AT] Ford V-10/Now Dodge

[Skip Cleveland]

A buddy of mine had one of those. It took him all the way through college 
and us on many a carousing nights until our feet started falling through the 
floor boards. He named it "Freeda".
It finally broke the timeing drive, and valve/ piston contact brought it's 
end.
