haha the **** out the window type gas mileage we all can relate to. i went to a swap meet yesterday and a guy had 2 351 Cleveland 4 barrel intake manifolds for $30. and some other guy was selling Ford quadrajets and 4100 carbs for $20. yall think i shoulda grabbed em?

 

i believe so....sounds like a great deal for those carbs

 

Regardless of what vehicle you drive, shouldn't it give you a grin you can't wipe off your face?

That's what happens every time I drive my old ford

 

I use mine as my daily driver in the summer. I won't take my truck on the salty roads in the winter. The cummins is great for mileage.

 

I drive mine daily all year round. Front brake line burst last summer pullin off the highway and flipped it on the drivers side into some bushes. Got it back on the road, towed a chevy 40 miles home for its brakes. Fixed the brake lines and it was back on the road. Sucky situation but it's still my baby.

 

yeah i know. i woulda grabbed em but i thought there was something wrong with the fuel pump or sending unit so i didnt get them. but i did walk away with the FORD letters that go across the hood and F-150 custom badges all for $15 and they look great. but i got home and jugged my truck, hooked the lines up and it ran fine. im kickin myself for not gettin em but i didnt know my truck would run. good greif haha. gotta love the dentisdes tho

 

love my 300 now with the up-grades, like a new engine vrs 1 barrel.
I love turnin heads!

 

Yeah, the 300 is the best engine I never wanted! I was pretty excited to find a crew with a 300 and a 4 spd.

 

my papaw has a 300 in his 89 F-150 that has over 400,000 miles on it. still runs like a charm and doesnt burn a drop of oil. just needs a transmission.

 

My old man has a 76 dent that he drives daily in the summer. He was talkin' about sellin' it last year, but after driving it for a couple weeks he decided that it was still too good of a truck to get rid of.

 

Been driving mine everyday since I bought it 3 years ago. Hasn't giving me a problem.

 

shes not a 4x4 is she? i thought i saw hubs but it may be center caps. icouldnt tell

 

Round headlights on a '78 have nothing to do with the build date of your truck. It has to do with your truck bein' a Custom. In '78 the Ranger, Explorer, Ranger-XLT, Ranger Lariat (First Year For Ranger Lariat) Trim Packages all had (Except for Custom Trim Packaged Trucks) rectangular head lights. In '79 all Trim Packages got rectangular headlights. Your lucky your just a kid and don't know better.
The '74 F-250 Super-Cab is gonna be my daily driver when I can afford the gas.

 

yeah i guess your right. because come to think of it i havent seen a 78 custom with square headlights. another thing is, can anyone tell me if a 351M is a big or small block. some tell me the 400 is a big block. i dont know. its confusing

 

All a 351M is a destroked 400. They are the same block, just a different bore and stroke.
