Bad *** 95 F150
NOT MINE...
I would like to get this look on mine...
Here is his suspension set up:
"I flipped the front ball joints over and machined out and wedged the lower hole in the spindle to fit. It dropped about 4 inches. I pinched one side of the coils for one more inch on the front. The back has modified Ranger springs with 1/2 helpers and slapper bars. I also extended the rear shackles to lower it 1 more inch... there are 6% pinion wedges in it too. The tires are 33x12.5's and they tuck very nicely. The fronts are 225-75R15's. The wheels are the stock '95 F150 XLT wheels that came on the truck... I just modified the center caps."

I love the leader in the first video... "extremely limited by the truck intake". Does that look limited to you? Anybody know what numbers it made on the dyno?
OK.. I just found the numbers... it made 280hp at the wheels. That's about 330hp at the crank accounting for driveline losses. He said with a 4bbl intake and carb it made close to 400hp, so I guess truck intake is restrictive compared to that..

If it was this cheap, easy & safe, I can't see the development of drop & dream beams at hefty prices.
Are pics available?

You mean porting? I didn't see anything saying the intake was ported. I can see the truck intake being restrictive compared to a carb intake, that's 15" long runners compared to 3" runners.. of course it'll make more HP, I'd love to see the TQ curves for both. But even so a stock 5.0HO intake is only good for about 275 crank hp, and there are lots of guys with GT40 intakes not making that much either. Just goes to show what the truck intake is capable of.
