Jason,Is that the 460 in the pic?,The valve covers look small,but I take your word for it,at any means,thats a very clean Truck,and your dedication to it shows.Did you pick up the cold air snorkle seperate,or did it come on the truck??,My 300-six dont have the MAF sensor on the airbox like yours does,but it does have the locations to install the air snorkle,,it wasnt with the truck when I traded a Honda night hawk 600,w/12,000 miles on it, straight up for my F-150,I believe I got the better end of the deal..,
One clean ride.

Never knew how huge affect on rear tires on low pressure. It was 40 psi but it look it fine. Fill to 80 psi then drove highway it feel like it roll so easy that you don't need push gas pedal more than it need.


I forgot it my new plow truck. 95 F250 351W with flatbed. 77k miles original
80 PSI is way to much air,when they blow,and I feel its just a matter of time before they do,its gonna be really loud: as in, "BOOM"Just a thought

I like the Ignition set your running,Headers are always a nice touch,
If I were to do a similar set-up,would I have to buy a up-dated factory type distributor,to go with the spark box?,and hypo-coil,?or in my case,would I be ahead just going with a DUI distributor,as its directions say it has a 50,000 volt coil built in,Either way,Thats the next purchase Ill be making for my Ford,I plan to go ahead and up-grade the ignition system,so it will already be installed when its time for the new motor,kinda like one less thing out of the way. And my current motor is no where near ready to swap,its still strong as a Muh Fuh.

Never blow tire from 80 psi. We use on 96 E350 too that see 15 people.

And our 01 F250 is 80 psi and tow 15,000 pound camper trailer no issues.

Got sick of jumping my truck every time I want to use it cause the winter killed my interstate battery. So I bought a carquest $101 battery. It is nice it has 1040 CCA . Woke up my truck. Its amazing how much difference a good powerful battery will make.

Replaced the broken, plastic window cranks with the old style metal ones I got at the pick-n-pull for free. Also picked up a behind the seat organizer designed to be bolted to the back wall of the cab...also for free.
