I just bought an '89 F150. Body is pretty clean but the engine was pretty rough looking. Lots of grime and appears to have an active oil leak. Anyway, I have found a few threads that have pics of engines but thought it would be cool to have everyone post their engine pics on one thread. Let's have both the finished product and those that show the road to the final product.
I have a few, I only did a cam swap, and the other go fast goodies got put on 3 years ago after I had so many problems with the old 1bbl carb.
Then here's my nephew's, which is much more drool worthy:
vintage cool is right. What a great job on the build . Super clean detailing
I did have a question,after building the motor,did you ever check what kind of mileage you get? 4ba Carb looks great. What cam did you use?
Thanks George
GFW1985, that is crazy!! Would like to hear that run. jjaguda, super clean, I like it. I would love to get mine that clean but it looks like i'll have to keep the smog equipment for another 3 years from what the inspection guy said. The truck still has to pass '89 emissions.
Does it matter what port i can use for the tranny vacuum line on my offy? There are 2 holes on my intake and i need to plug one corect? and use the other for my tranny yes?

I used one port for the power brakes vacuum booster, I had a 4 speed so didn't need a line for trans vacuum. Both ports are full vacuum so to answer your question...Yes you can use one port for transmission vacuum. Instead of blocking one off I installed a nipple in the other port and put a rubber cap over it, this way I could hook up a vacuum gauge for tuning by just removing the cap! It worked great!
