Plans for the long weekend?
Since the boys I work for are out of town for the weekend I thought I might get a few of my projects out of the way. First is the engine swap in my 53, the rear main is leaking and it will have to come out to replace, so I'm putting the low mileage engine out of my car in it. After I get through with that I think I'll go ahead and put the Vintage Air unit in that's been collecting dust for over a year.
I keep this up and one of these days I might have a finished truck :-X06 Anybody else got plans to work on a project? Or is this gonna be a R&R weekend? :D |

I think a 7.3L/444TE would be great in there. Think of all the fun you could have with that jewel shoe-horned between the fenders.}>
That would be just a little too heavy for my choice of suspension :( getting sent to Harrisonville (suburb of KC). |
My projects are over for the weekend..
I pulled a total of 2 1/2 yards of river rock home for our little landscaping project.. got all that spread out so I think the rest of the weekend will be pretty much R & R for us. |

Let's see. Weed eated the back yard. Mounted the trailer hitch and wiring on my bike. Changed out the back tire on my bike and took a short test ride. Today it's change the oil in both bikes and haul the bike trailer(pull behind, not put the bike on type)out and clean it up and pack the wheel bearings. Then it's all good, just waiting for Thursday night to pack the trailer so we can hit the road Friday.
Oh, I'll probably spend Monday mowing the rest of the yard. |

Sounds like you need the lighter 365VT/6.0L
You know the old saying about the best laid plans of mice and men.... well mine just ain't going quite as planned. Started off yesterday by straining my back lifting a pressure washer, been working all weekend under the influence of pain meds :-roll Then when I pulled the engine out of the truck, the torque converter decided to hang in the crankshaft, so now I need a new front seal for the trans. Looks like it'll be later in the week before this job is done. A/C install is going good though, should have cold air when I get the truck running :D |

Aw, come on...you know you really want one.}> Think of all the fun & unbridled power you could have with it.

Err, let me get back to you on that one.:o Life's rough when your the only one carrying the 6.0L flag around here. This thread would only get more entertaining if the V10 clown in the SD forum would jump in here & throw the gantlet down about how great the V10 is and how there ain't a motor in a Ford that could do what he thinks he can.:-yeahrigh |

Ok, ok..everyones a commedian around here anymore; clearly I need to recruit a couple of 6.0L guys to join the chapter. I knew I'd come up with something...just took me a bit to realize this. Joe I'm not sure if you've noticed or not; but most of the parts/upgrades Clay carries at RiffRaff are for the 7.3L. I'd say 75%-80% are specific to the 7.3L...not the 6.0L, sounds like the 7.3L has some flaws and needs quite the support to keep up with the 6.0L powered trucks}>
(putting on his big-boy pants; waiting for the next round) Much much more is coming for the 6.0L:-X19 |
