I think he's gonna take that race, boss. While a 351 is a torquey engine and will pull the world around with a c6 behind it, that's what it's made to do. That truck isn't made to win any drag races. If the guy's any good on that stickshift, you're gonna have one tough time beating him. He's got a higher power-to-weight ratio, more gears, and a LOT less air resistance.
Personnally I would tell him to hook up or shut up. He's not gonna win a pull-off against an f250.
im still wondering if ford retarded cam timing in my engine as my water pump is leaking so i'll be able to change the timing chain if needed.
Yep, all carbed ford's after 73 or so are retarded in the cam for emissions purposes, I switched my 76 460 chain to one out of a 69 linc(at the parts store I told them that to get the right part), noticeable difference but not too much. Try it, a chain and both gears is only like 20 bucks, go with a 69 mach 1 351 windsor too, make the guy at the parts store drool!

Ouch...maybe the 3.0L is slower than I originally thought.....I ran a 16.6 in my 4.2L F150(when I still had second gear) but mine is a much heavier truck...

131k miles on everything, tranny in good condition w/ shift kit
my sig has all the info needed
one wheel burn-outs aren't that fun
now a four wheel burn-out would show you have some power
the race will happen next spring, ill keep you guys posted when it happens, hopefully ill get someone to tape it.
