Nice rig. No engine details aside from the 12a rotary though. I'd be really interested in knowing if it has a monster bridge port, or periphrial ported 12a. Either way, 245HP from a 1.1L engine is quite impressive.

On another note, getting ready to go pickup another truck. 1974 F100 Ranger XLT LWB. The 2 previous owners were Ford motor company, and my father. Frame has developed a major crack between the steering gearbox and front crossmember, so it's been off the road a couple years now.
Dad is no longer able to drive, so the truck has been at my sisters for 2 years. The city has been on her about it not being tagged. Since she laid claim to it, I offered to swap her my nissan truck for the rights to the F100. She agreed. Dad refuses to sign the title over to her, since it was supposed to come to me. He will not only sign over the title to me, but also provide me the old original title from 74 that the state will no longer honor as valid.
Hopefully, I can get it back into driveable shape and take him for a ride in it while he's still with us.
The frame is cracked bad enough that I doubt it can be repaired, most likely will need a different frame. Either way, once it's done, I will keep it around till I am no longer able to drive.
With the cost of gas these days, I wish it still had the LP fuel system on it........ 390's tend to be thirsty. Especially with the A/C in use.

 

whew. we made it thru this latest storm ok. just saw pea sized hail, tons of rain, and bbbbbbiiiiiiiggggg winds. Hope everyone else faired as well.

 

We faired well, this was the first storm of the year webdid not get hail. The hood of my truck is starting to look like the surface of the moon.

 

The sirens sounded off here for a while, but the rain was falling hard/fast enough it drowned out the annoying sirens......

Other than some rain and wind, there was just a little bit of large sleet/small hail. Too big for sleet, too small for hail.
Wish this rainy pattern would ease up for a bit. Kinda hard to go get dad's truck with the bad wiper motor on my mine...... Can't use the little truck to drag the trailer.

 

You guys have had enough...in fact all the states you way...time for you to get some good luck


I hope to get some time and tell ya a bit about my 12a it is real strong...

 

Are you all still safe

 

Safe here in Owasso. How about you?

 

Wishing for rain...

Good morning all

 

Go away with those kind of thought Tim I need to mow the grass.

 

You can have the rain, we've had too much last couple of weeks.
Besides, I need to drive 50 miles round trip, towing a trailer loaded with a pickup on half that trip. The wiper motor burned up on my truck, and I need it to bring dad's truck to my place.

 

I don't mind the rain as long as I have inside work, but that wind the past couple of days is about to drive me nuts.

 

Made it back with dad's truck. Thankfully, the rain and wind both stayed away this evening......

 

Only because I didn't give anything here a bath

 

A great holiday weekend
Good Morning all

 

Thank you for that. I had to drive from Sapulpa to east Tulsa, and pull a trailer back, with no wiper motor on my truck. The trailer was loaded with another pickup, dad's 74 F100. They were built rather solid back then.....
The ol' 300 pulled it pretty decent, even with the 2.75 rear gears and 31x10.50 tires. Nearly 50 miles round trip, and a quarter tank of liquid gold.
