I hope you have boxed the frame because that monster is going to twist a stock frame like a pretzel!! That is one beautiful setup

Do you have an estimated HP ? My guess 600 mine should be a little over 500 with a little less cam , carb and intake .

The reason I mentioned the boxed frame is my AUSTIN HEALEY that I had a 400+ horse 289 in had the boxed frame and still needed traction bars from the rear axle to the front of the frame to really give me the traction to run it to it's potential. You have to have a lot more HP and torque than that had. Have fun and post more pics as you finish it.

That is a beautiful piece of high-end machinery.

I sometimes wonder if the original Ford designers ever envisioned that 60+ year’s later people would be cruising around in 500hp versions of their trucks. To quote RFK, “There are those that look at things the way they are, and ask why? I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?”
