Have a 79 F250, 98000 miles. 460,c-6,2wd.Every thing pretty much stock.Short box ex.cab. Need some help for getting a little more power out of this truck. Pull a small 5th wheel with boat behind, not sure of total wt.

Try putting of a aluminum manifold, 4 barrel carb and some
headers. That should help you out some.

Gosh fellers, I thought the 460 was the answer for all of the low power questions, and now we have an owner that has one that isn't producing enough.

DF, Where are you?? Does he need to spend a thousand bucks for cam, intake, carb. and headers to get that puny engine revving and making some real power?? :-)
