Streetmaster eh? That's too cool, old school!

Add a PCV system to the VCs and you're set.

Got some nice goodies going on it. Let me know how those flotech headers fit. My old lady got the same headers for her 79 f150 4x4 this past week. They hit the frame before the flange sits flush on the passenger head. I think i heard they fit better on the f250's from my searching.

Hoping no interference , I think hookers or head mans talk about that . I hope not, I'll be pissed, I see can't use them damn intake gaskets, no cross over heat opening,everything cost me 25/30% more to get it shipped here just the way it is .will post pic and keep posted, finally dropped to -10 and only a portable garage and space heater ,

Can I get a 5" air cleaner under there? Does the forward pitch affect the carb not being level?

I've been there on the no garage to work in. Hopefully the headsets for no issues. I'll be watching for the outcome. I think a 5" air cleaner will fit depending on your intake height. It's been awhile since my truck had the factory engine in it but I thought there was extra room on top of the air filter housing

Great looking truck. Is that an outside-the-frame gas tank on the right side? That is not good as it is an accident waiting to happen. You should move it to the rear where it is protected by the frame. For your intake height question, just stack pieces of blue foam board up and see if the hood will close. As an Alaskan, I am sure you have some blue foam around. Hopefully this summer I can start tearing down my 70 CC which was originally owned by Green Construction til it was bought by a friend who sold it to me in 2006.
