some ideas

hey guys,

just found this place here must say i like it.

Anyways, I just came across an 89' F-150 inline 6 and i bought the thing 4x4 of course. I plan to restore it, and also do some modifications. The clutch was out when i got it, so, while I got the thing tore down, any suggestions on what i can do to give it little more power, or at least to make it to where i will have no trouble in the mud. also what size tires do you guys recommend?

thanks,

Fox

If your have 3.55s in your diffs I wouldn't go any bigger than 33's.
Improvements you could do would be lower gears, bigger tires, and maybe beef the motor up a little with a cam, head work or something. Don't think they make any intakes or bigger throttle bodys for the efi's.
