pulled the 360

me and my brother (Ford_hord360) finally pulled the 360 and tranny out of the 73 parts truck. it was a little more difficult then we thought it would be. although a lot easier now that we have the cherry picker. we had problems with the tranny hanging up on the floorboard, and the exhaust pipes on the morter mounts. once we got it out we put it on the cart. then we fired it up it ran good concerding we just poured gas down the carb. Is there a saftey issue with running eingine out side a truck?

Hi its me Ford_hord360 pintoches little brother. For my first engine pull with a hoist it was sweet! Some minoir problems but mostly good. ive pulled a 351M by hand with a few budies and it sucked. todays job on the 73 was to salvage what we think is a 360 before pollution modifications came it to effect. I was amazed by the fact that the 360 we pulled runns better than the one we have tuned and pintoches drives every day in his beautiful 76 but why its so weird is the 73 360 we pulled sat for 5 years and fired right up no delays no sputter at all.

we will have photos covering the project soon though i do have a picture of the 73 in my albulm

now that sounds like fun.

I almost brought home a 78 ford pickup just for grins, and when I came home to get my checkbook, I made the mistake of telling mom what I was doing... She wouldn't allow that thing on the property, apparently...

Keep up the good work!
