I have owned more FE powered rides than I can count.
My current daily driver is a pretty Rare 1966 F-100 Ranger. factory FE power that gets 20+ MPG in stock trim. Usually FE and MPG are not used in same sentence.

Another rarity is trying to get 14+ MPG with a Dual Quad 482 FE. Disappointed at less than 14 mpg but expecting/hoping for 16. Not to mention 600 + lb ft tq.

 

is that an OD unit on the end of that tranny?

 

Yep! Brand spankin' new GV OD.

 

Also have the dual quad efi.

 

Finally got it move into main shop. Hoping to fire the 482 for first time within next couple weeks.

 

 

Engine update
Its now running driving with the EFI. Still gotta do a bit of tuning but so far so good

 

Nice! I need too know someone else is working on their FE. Will you keep the red white theme on the body?

 

Yes, Complete body, trim, paint just like it left factory. Tons of NOS parts on this truck.

I did add the 482" FE but even the block has proper date code. Just happens to be exact date of engine removed.

Brake upgrade so I can actually drive it 14" 6p so had to go minimum of 18" wheel. Other than that it will remain stock appearing right down to stock I Beams and original rear axle but upgraded N case with better parts axles

 

Beautiful truck. What transmission? I like the Lokar throttle cable and trans kickdown. I have the same setup in my truck with a 4 bbl. Did you make the fan shroud? Keep the pics coming please.

 

 

Bit more progress

 

Wow, every part of that truck is clean enough to eat off of...
