Hello,

It is time for me to complete the restoration of a 1972 F-250 Camper Special. I've listed it in the California, Northern Chapter for sale thread. However, I'm not opposed to keeping it and finishing the restoration (mainly install engine and transmission and accessories).

I could use some assistance/guidance for installing an Edelbrock alum. intake manifold and am looking for someone experienced in how to do it correctly (per the instructions there may be some issues with fitting it and sealing it). I am also considering just taking the complete project to a "restoration" shop to finish. Any assistance, suggestions or references are greatly appreciated. I can be reached via PM.

Thank you,

Will

 

Good luck Will. I am worthless around tools other than woodworking tools. Post up progress as you go,,

 

Instructions? I dont normally use instructions, unless it's extra complex.
The main thing on the swap is getting the old one off, assuming it's a 360/390. They are a back breaker! Must use 2 people, or even an engine hoist to lift it. They are 85 pounds, last I remember.

 

this is all new to me. i'm not sure what more to say other than good luck and stick with it. i can relate to camper special though... i rebuilt a slide in truck camper and i had no plans, ideas, or idea how to do it. it happened though!
good luck will and keep at it!
