Introduction

Hello,
My name is Aaron and I'm a Ford-o-holic! I'm a life long Ford fan in the middle of restoring my '78 F250 4x4. I also own a '72 Bronco that I use to trail ride and rock climb. I came across this site and joined to share in its infinate wisedom.

Thanks

Welcome to FTE. Lots of great guys here with very good info. Where are you from and what are your plans for the 78?

I'm located right in the middle if NC. My plans are to make a nice presentable truck I can take to the local cruise in or truck pull if I'd like. I will probably use it to pull my Bronco to the trail a couple times a year.

I'm working on putting the rolling chassis together right now. I have 400 with aussie heads, KB pistons, and Isky cam for power. It will be backed by the original NP435/205. I don't plan on much if any lift and running 33" tires. How about a couple pics...











I'll have to throw one in of my little Bronco too...

I ended up spending $950 for the heads, rebuilt with new valves, guides, springs and retainers. I priced the Edelbrock aluminum heads at $950 each.
