HIO Silver's '73 F100 SB 4x4 "The War Machine" Mod/Upgrade Thread
#136
Btw, I haven't worked on the War Machine lately due to a multitude of reasons.. the rainy season, work on rental homes, workload at the office, and other commitments.
However, I picked this up on February 29 - It's a 2001 360 Spider with only 14.4K miles... I have named her "Alia" from Frank Herbert's book "Dune". OMG she's stupid fast... 120 MPH happens in a hurry!

2x.. I looked a two red 360 Spiders and this silver Spider (Argento Nurburgring)... it looks more like a sculpture... industrial art.
It's F1 transmission takes some getting used to. The handling is outrageous and requires 100 percent attention and participation. No cup holders!!!

'Fabbed up a couple of more...
Pair No. 2... slightly different.
Lay out, mounting holes and relief holes drilled.
Cut and bent...
All four...
Installed using existing frame holes.. the large washers simply sandwich the frame. Easy.
Oh, notice I reversed the pucks to the other side of the head to avoid pinching the wire. A little slack for adjustability and a zip tie will keep the wire secure.
Left front...
Right front...
Left rear... actually directly under the driver's seat.
The leads are really long and have spec plugs on their ends to mate up with the fused distribution harness which connects directly to a power source. There is really no need to power them via a relay due to the low power draw.
