My new Project.

<a href="http://s226.photobucket.com/albums/dd101/Dustyb_01/?action=view&amp;current=IMG_0794.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd101/Dustyb_01/IMG_0794.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>



This is my 95 F250 single cab long bed 4x4 351 w/5spd.

The current motor is pretty rough, so is the interior, but the body is great!
Ive built a few cars before and I'm new to the site. Want what everyone else wants... a stroker kit, awesome leather interior and Flat black paint.

Im slowly learning about the EFI in these trucks and how pitiful it can be, I've got some questions, but first.......

Anyone got suggestions?

Well you should have a ZF-5 trans, which is great! If you plan to do some engine work such as cam, big heads, or maybe a 393 stroker I recommend a MAF conversion. Hit up the junk yards, you might be able to find some nice seats for a great price. Also You plan on running a big lift or big tires? You might want to do a Dana 60 front axle swap.

Looks like you have a great starting point. Good luck!

Where are you located.
What are your goals.

Maf swap will set you up for mods later on. Do it now to a stock setup so if things don't run right we can trouble shoot easier. With a manual trans it's a simple swap.

I'd do a stroker kit. Look for a parts list and suggestions on one of my last topics I posted to.

What gears does the truck have.
