This was my old one. Nothing spectacular, but I liked the color blue on the engine

I like Ford blue. Toss all that chrome. If Henry wanted chrome, he would have installed
it at the factory. Perhaps if the engines were chrome at the factory, you guys would
be tossing it and installing blue parts.

Keep an eye pealed for the pair of flexible ducts for the air cleaner.
The rectangular one is short and small. The round one connects all the way
to the radiator support.

My 429. I had some safety yellow laying around. Had to move the brake booster over so the valve covers would clear

Latest Update

Here is my latest update just finished and it fired up on the second try.



Ran good, a little rough, but then right before the road test, the cab was filled with antifreeze as it was obvious the rotten heater core couldn't take a new water pump.

Ford corporate blue is my favorite color. It would be nice to separate the jacked up
trucks with the chrome engines from the stock trucks with blue engines.

X2!

It takes a lot of years and miles to achieve the layers of rust, dust and oil that my engine bay has. I am afraid I would disturb something (living or not) if I opened the hood to take a picture.

Nice looking engine bay Troy. Couple of questions for ya.
Where did you find the air cleaner?
That brake booster looks smaller than the original, I like it. What is it out of or better yet do you have a part number? With it being smaller do you notice any less braking power?

Troy's air cleaner is made by Holley and that brake booster and MC is an aftermarket setup.

Looks like he's paying the bills at a Summit dealer.

Looks good. Have any dyno numbers for it?
