I'm scheduling time off in January to complete several projects on my truck and am hoping to get some estimates for the amount of time I'll need to complete them.

I have a 75 F250 with an inline 300. 1.) I will be pulling the head and removing fast burn ridges from the chambers. I'll also be checking the bowls. They were done professionally but I never checked. I'll also be porting the runners with 110 grit, opening up the chambers around the valves --deshrouding--and polishing the chambers.

2.) When the head is finished I'll be installing EFI dual exh. manifolds and changing the exhaust to dual 2.25 pipe out the back through Summit mufflers. All down passenger side. (I'm tired of the heat from the header making carb problems.)

3.) R&R radiator and electric fans to patch the radiator.

4.) Cam swap, front cover swap, timing gear swap, and removal of oil pan. While the pan is off I'll grind off the bolt hole ridges so a one piece efi year gasket can be used. (Common mod for 300's.)

I believe two weeks should give me loads of time, with days to spare. Any guesses?

 

Yes that should be plenty of time, of course it all depends if OCD is for or against you. lol
Also if you can get to it and be uninterrupted and things go your way on the removal process.

 

You have a good start with your "to do" list. Make sure you have all the tools and materials on hand, before you start. Nothing kills a project's momentum more than an unexpected trip to the parts house, or having to wait for the UPS truck.

Plan on what you want to get done each day, and get it done. That way you get a fresh start every day and you will stay on your schedule. There might be a late evening or two, but you won't end up at the end of two weeks with three days work left.

Good luck.
