To each their own and it's his truck to do whatever he wants with it but I can't help wondering why anyone would put a 454 crate motor in that great old Ford truck.

From my opinion mostly no talent hacks build vehicles just like that. When I worked at the horrid shop it was one of two chassis for DIY people with no real talent. Blazer or s10 chassis. Seen some dumb crap to make a car...stuff I don't want my wife and daughters on the same road with for sure!

When I had some surgery on my left eye my wife tapped a little sign above my left eye saying "this one". The doc laughed! I told this story before, sorry, old men like to repeat stories, LOL

There's a lot about that truck that doesn't do it for me, but that truck 4x4 and a 7.3 would be so choice.
