I found a brand New 460 ci crate engine to day at a City equipment sale never been uncrated. It was purchased from Ford for one of their emergency vehicles and never used. The tag date was 1976 and has 460 HD stamped in the block. no smog set up, and came with carb, high out put alt., and starter ready to drop in and drive. Now does any one know what the HD difference is? It has 375 h0rse power on the envoice

 

I have one out of an ambulance. I was told it had different heads and intake on it, but I haven't confirmed that yet.

.....and I'm a little jealous of you right now for such an awesome find.

 

That's cool, a time capsule. Is it sealed pretty good? Any pictures?

 

Ok I got a 2007 f150 screw 4.6L 4x2
Stock everything
It has 265/60r18 tires on it
I just bought tires that are 275/65r18 can they fit my truck

 

Yea they should fit, you could head on over to the correct forum section and ask. You might get better results

 

Tore into my new-to-me holley 600 4 barrel for my old yellow pickup. Everything looked good, minus some dust (rust) on the bottom of the bowls. Apparently only has 500 miles on a rebuild. Traded a motorcraft 2100 for it!

 

Ima put some 2011 ford chrome rims on my 07 f150

 

Make sure to check fuel pressure from the fuel pump most pumps range around 7 lbs the Holley handles 5 lbs better most will flood any higher I put a regulator on all my hollers and a riser block under the carb. This stops the heat from causing vapor lock and improves mileage adds a tad more horses too.

 

x2 Cowsavy i also run a 2" spacer under all my carbs but i also run a screen there too and i get 1-2 mpg better on avg it doesn't sound like much but with the FE every little bit helps

Christmas gifted metal door pull cups and a factor jack and lug wrench to my FTE bud for his 73.

 

My headers came in today, so I had a chance to see what I need to do to get them to fit. They are for 64-73 mustangs. I think a mini starter and Z-bar modification are on deck.


Picture time

 

Put on some new shoes.

 

^^That's a good looking F250 explorer!^^

I got a lot further with my rear bumper project this weekend, didn't get many pics though.
License plate mount/light & 2 of the 4 marker lamps:


Thanks and I agree. I still need to get the aux. reverse lights.

 

good enough for me

 

Slowly winning the battle with these headers. I modified my Z bar and made a new block mounted bracket.
Cardboard pattern





You can see how far back I had to move the pin to clear the headers.
