Looking for an engine for my truck, its blowing oil out the tailpipe (in the form of smoke), so it won't pass CO/Springs emissions tests...

Anyone got a working V8 engine, that is not smoking for sale? I would prefer an FE, but I will consider any Ford V8 so I can actually use my truck...

 

What year/model if your truck?

 

'65 F100, 2wd, 4 speed

 

And I'm assuming you're running an FE now?

 

yep FE 352

 

Give me a day or two, I may know of something.

 

cool...

 

Buddy has a complete 400, carb to pan. Runs well, good compression on all cyls. The bell housing is different for your motor but he has that as well so you can bolt it right up to your 4spd. PM me if you are interested.

 

The 400 can be a good motor, you should go for it. Just my opinion.

I sent you an email... it says you are not allowing PM's...

 

Have you tried jetting down your carb? At this altitude you can use smaller jets and get the same performance. It might not be smoke blowing out your tailpipe but instead unburnt fuel. I had the same problem with two of my trucks. If your plugs are all black and sooty then you probably could use smaller jets.

 

Hey If you haven't bought another engine-I was thinking about buying this '65 4x4 F100 in Denver that has a 400 in it. I don't really want a 400 and would consider buying it and then selling the motor to you. I could use a 352 or 300 instead. I don't need a 400 double barrel carb stomp machine.

 

What would you ask for the 400...I dont need one, but who knows..

I was going to by the one from the fella way up top, but ran into some financial burdens. How much would you want for it? And, does it run ? Smoke?

 

Do you still need a V8? This is post here in the site in colorado. Please call me if you still need one.
