You are going to hell for painting an FE red.

Your Right I'll have to do that. I hope to get some more footage now that I own a video Camera..

Slinger I built the motor back in HighSchool. Its been in two different trucks and is 9 years old.. No Complaints.

I put the new Cam in and Swapped the Valve Springs when I had the motor out for paint, as well as a new dbl roller timing set, new gaskets on everything. The motor is bored .030 over - Forged Pistons, Moly Rings, ported heads, edelbrock Intake, Holley Carb, balanced, Blueprinted..all the fun usual stuff. Need a bit of tweaking on the carb, but Im deciding wether to replace it with a BG Carb..

Hypoid - Thanks! Sound better when I get rid of those Cherry Bombs.. Flowmaster 40series with exhaust cut outs goin on the middle/end of next week.

Cool, I put a 390 in my 79' this past summer. It has some gasket issues and needs new rings. I would like to do a nice rebuild like you did, in a couple of years. nothing too over the top.
The Barry Grant Carbs are a very good carb, from what i here. I know www.pawengineparts.com Seel demon carbs and come with a tuning video. For a pretty decent price.

Ahhhhhhhh, the sweet rumble of CHERRY BOMBS!! LOL!!
Been a long time since I saw anything set up like that. Back in the eighties every "hot rod" was just like that: headers and cherry bombs(no tailpipes). Radio? What radio...can't hear it! Every truck I had back then had that exhaust........it took quite a few years before I would "splurge" for a full exhaust.
Don't take too much crap for a "redish" Ford motor since back in the early 60's the small block FORDS were red!

I like the "BOSS" type stripe! Cool looking truck, I like it!
