Any One Have Mods Planned For Their Truck This Winter?
#17
i have to pull the motor out.. seem's that when the engine rebuilder did my lower end he scuffed up the rear main seal and it is leaking oil pretty good. when that is done i want to get it off to rockford to have some mandrel stainless exhaust bent up. those are all my plan's for the winter.

Yep, I have my 1972 F-100 in the garage right now, partially disassembled. It was originally a 360. It now has a 315 hp 390 out of a late 60's passenger car. It's been bored .030 over, Engle cam, Accel dual point dist. I am now in the process of installing an Edelbrock Performer RPM manifold and a Demon carburetor (750 Speed-Demon). I'm going to take my time and clean up the engine compartment, and add some dress-up parts.
This is a rust-free Arkansas truck that I have never subjected to Illinois road salt.
Also......Just bought (this past monday) a 1966 Ranchero. This one is from Oklahoma and totally rust-free also. It was originally a 289 with three speed on the column. It now has a 351W with 3,000 miles on a fresh rebuild. .030 over, Keith Black pistons, cam, roller rockers, DUI ignition, Hooker headers, etc. It is currently running an AOD transmission, which works fine, but...
I couldn't help but notice that all of the clutch linkage is still under the dash, including the pedal, which is pushed up against the firewall and tucked under the top edge of the carpet. It sure would be easy to change it back! And I've got this toploader out of a '66 Fairlane that I've saved in case I might need it someday!
