New V10 owner - Again

Hi All
Picked this up last week. Had to share this new addition to our V10 family with you.. I just could not pass up such a great deal on another V10. Its a 99 all stock with those not so good flowing heads, exhaust and slow 3.73 gears.. But I think that can be changed cant it?

Those old heads actually flow pretty well. It's the camshafts that suck the big one.

We may restore it some or build it up, not for sure at this point. It has some miles on it at 194k but runs out great. Just needs a little TLC. It doesnt have a lift just the factory 4 inch blocks in rear... Its also an XL so I know I will be looking for a better seat.

So that's what it is. I was thinking a 2 door coupe, you know the little sporty version.

Nice looking rig Mike! Had to poke a little fun. I call the wifes Suburban a sports car since its much easier to drive in town than my pickup.

The truck looks good, great shape too. I really like the reg cabs and thats what I originally wanted but got my SC for a good deal so...

Build up the V10 and run 10-20lbs of boost and make the ulimate sleeper.

Thumbs up Regular cab / Real truck

Nice Truck , The regular cab is cool. Think of all those years when thats all they had on the lots.
The regular cab short bed (f150) were very popular in the day.
The F350 4x4 was regular or crew cab only (80-97) and we all made it work just fine wife kids and all.
Another regular cab Plus : No video,tv,home entertainment system in the back seats, a must have for any real truck of cource (lol).

Welcome to the V-10 fourm !

I like my 3.73's

Not a tow monster but I like them on the highway.

PS got the tuner yesterday. I need to burn 3/4 of 87 before I install the new tunes.
