First Time Engine Rebuild

Hey there,

Ive got a 75 f-100 thats been neglected for several years and I'm looking to tear into the engine and transmission. It's got the 300 inline 6 mated to i believe the c4 automatic. I'm building it to pull a camp trailer to travel in and I'm not sure really where to start. I've torn into heads on other makes, I.e. vw, Chevy. But never a bottom end and never a Ford. If anyone can give me some information and tips or just help me out with the process that would be appreciated.

Thanks so much

Michael

I guess the thing to do would be to buy a book that covers S.B. Fords. Then come back here with more specific questions. There is just way too much to cover.

Can't go wrong by starting with all the original shop manuals on CD from amazon.

300 I6 is pretty much the most reliable engine ford ever built and will be great for your towing needs.
