As some may know, I got an ‘86 F-150 and the seller said it had a 5.0 from a 1979 f-150 but he didn’t do the swap and didn’t know much about it SO I was seeing if any of you fine folk could tell from my bad photos. Yes the engine looks terrible but I’m trying to polish the turd
Sure looks like a 302....
Contrary to popular belief..... it's not impossible to polish a turd. Myth Busters did it and I am doing it right now on my 302.
Yes the engine looks terrible but I’m trying to polish the turd
LOL.... speaking of polishing turds.....
Here is one that can be polished..... This is a piece of coprolite..... a fossilized alligator turd.... Yes, a rock..... easily polished.....LOL.
SO... take heart..... it's not that hard to polish a turd!
So... get on with it.!!!
So here’s my questions! Is there suppose to be this gap? Also that plate where the throttle cable attaches becomes super stiff once the truck is turned on making the gas pedal stick really badly. (Makes it hard to shift) What does this thing do!? It has a spring attached to it and a set screw but I can seem to figure out what the heck it is. Fuel spits out of this... I assume it’s not suppose to do that?
Well a rebuild obviously couldn’t hurt. I did notice at the bottom of the accelerator pump there is a little hole and that’s where the fuel comes out. Is that hole suppose to be plugged?
