my new project

hey guys i have a couple questions first off i got this 1979 f150 reg. cab shortbox from my uncle thats been sitting from 10 years. well i pulled the motor and rebuilt it so now its a 351 bored over .060 with a comp cam that is rated at 268 duration and 568 lift or its close to it i'll look later, the compression is at 9:1. but my main question is the wiring is pretty fried is there a kit for our trucks to replace all of it like what the painless wiring kit does for chevys?

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question, but I have one for you. How did you manage to bore the 351 .060 over? I've always been told that .030 is the max on 351s.

Ron Francis has wiring kits specific to any vehicle. Ron Francis Wiring I haven't ordered through them yet, but when I get to rewiring my truck I'll be using their kit since it looks to be better thought out than Painless' and it's built model specific.
