Good stuff UNTAMND!

I have released information on the "The Cure" to control fueling in blow thru applications. Putting the link here just to keep as much info on this thread as possible. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...l#post15901933

Well, it's time to say goodbye. I have decided to take a break from forums.
Good luck with all your builds and take care.

I moved away from my 36x100 weld shop, 26x60 machine shop, and all kinds of heavy equipment.... And have been lost for 6 years.
I have been on and off the forum because I have no reason to be here.
I miss it here. I am motivated when I'm here.

I will be working on my 90 supercab soon. It needs a small floor patch and either a badass flat bed or a new box. It's getting a disk brake D60 rear, and I will build a d44/50 hybrid or if I find a balljoint d60 I'll put that in with coils. I could put in the whole d50 ttb in there with coils... We will see.

Intake manifold heat

About $100 for machining and aluminum bar, will run inline with heater hose. Works with efi mani's and headers, but not log mani's of course.

Well, going a different direction with the Sleeper. 79 short boxes have always been my favorite, but the family 38 Ford has always been my dream car. I have used the Sleeper as a test and tune chariot for the 38, however the 240/300 will not fit the 38 with a c6(not switching) and the straight axle wishbone joint.(not changing that either!) I have decided to go with a budget Windsor in the Sleeper until the 38 is ready for power. Since the Sleeper needs very little to switch to the Windsor, it makes sense to get it going while working on the 38 as time and funds allow. Could be running the Sleeper for 5 years before the 38 is ready!

I also need to spent more time with my 11 year old son who is not currently interested in mechanics. We all know how these projects consume our time and funds. I'le take it slow and see how it goes.

Always good to spend time with the kids.
Post up some pics of the 38.
What do you mean "straight axle wishbone joint"

Spending time with the kid is a good investment of time. Good luck with your projects too.

I'm hoping to get going on my own turbo 300 project once I get a few other projects done on my truck... The HX35 I got from you is still safely tucked away for a rainy day so don't go too far! Fuel/ignition/gauges and other projects will pave the way first.

Take care,

The straight axle has tubing that runs from inboard of the king pins on each side to the center of the X frame in a triangular/wishbone shape. Model A's and T's had that joint attached to the bottom of the bellhousing. It locates the axle front and rear, and the single leaf spring (parallel with axle) locates the axle left and right.






'38 Ford. Took this pic 4 years ago, on it's way into the shop. Something came up and it never went in. Wonder what it would look like today if it had gone in...
