Was in the bookstore last week and I was reading a book with some data for National Percenatges of traffic accidents by vehicle, the F-100 was at the alltime top of the list for domestic light trucks. :-(

Maybe, but that's because Fords are on the road so much more, and so much longer! Can't get in a accident, if it's up on a rack! :)

It only makes sense since the F100 was the #1 vehicle in sales too.
If it were number #3 in sales and #1 in accidents then I'd be worried!

HI! I am considering buying a 460 with an automatic trans to put in a two wheel drive '77 F150 for $500. The 460 only has around 1,000 miles on it. The truck currently has a 351W that needs rebuilt. Can anyone offer any advice? and does anyone know what the gas milage would be with the 460. It has a four barrel intake I would have to buy a carb for it.

Well, You could put a Blown 460 in there, but you would have to do alot of cutting and new suspension and stuff. Heh..=20


Sorry, couldn't resist... I would think a 302-351 would probably fit in there with some fabrication/trimming/tranny upgrade and heavier rear end..= =20

Largest or largest practical? A 302 shouldn't be too difficult.
I'd suspect you'll run into fender clearance problems with anything bigger. A 302 would give more than enough "ummmph" to a Ranger.

A more sensible way to look at the infomation is to take the number of trucks on the road, multiplied by miles driven, devided by the number of accidents. The total for each manufacturer is probably very close.
An easier way to get a better ....
